Would it be possible to provide a section and/or page number for the above 
citation for those of us without ready access to a hard copy version of 
the document? 

Also, the local TriCity Herald's Sunday 6/8/97 editorial section contained 
an article titled, "Verdict Still Out on Nuclear Power" by applied 
economist Bernard L. Weinstein. He concludes, "So let's not be too quick 
in writing the nuclear industry's epitaph. In reality, improved 
performance in recent years has proved that nuclear power is cost 
competitive with most alternatives."
