A Brighter Tomorrow

Fulfilling the Promise of Nuclear Energy

By: Pete V. Domenici,Senator Pete V Domenici,Blythe J. Lyons,Julian J. Steyn

The senior Senator from New Mexico, Pete V. Domenici, has written a thoughtful assessment of the progress Americans have made in their efforts to bring the benefits of nuclear power to mankind. He outlines what went wrong and why, and in this noble quest, what we must now do to recover from and repudiate past blunders. Senator Domenici has been called Congress' chief apostle for nuclear power and in this book he shares his vision and passion for a renewed commitment, by this nation, and the rest of the world, to the dreams that nuclear energy can help us fulfill. It is also a book about what kind of world our grandchildren could inhabit if we fail in making and keeping such a commitment. Visit our website for sample chapters!

Crazy

A Father's Search Through America's Mental Health Madness

By: Pete Earley

“A magnificent gift to those of us who love someone who has a mental illness…Earley has used his considerable skills to meticulously research why the mental health system is so profoundly broken.”—Bebe Moore Campbell, author of 72 Hour Hold Former Washington Post reporter Pete Earley had written extensively about the criminal justice system. But it was only when his own son—in the throes of a manic episode—broke into a neighbor's house that he learned what happens to mentally ill people who break a law. This is the Earley family's compelling story, a troubling look at bureaucratic apathy and the countless thousands who suffer confinement instead of care, brutal conditions instead of treatment, in the “revolving doors” between hospital and jail. With mass deinstitutionalization, large numbers of state mental patients are homeless or in jail-an experience little better than the horrors of a century ago. Earley takes us directly into that experience—and into that of a father and award-winning journalist trying to fight for a better way.

The CSIS Strengthening of America Commission

By: CSIS Strengthening of America Commission,Sam Nunn,Pete Domenici

Although the United States has the largest economy in the world, it has vulnerabilities. The growth rate of productivity has slowed. The U.S. net national savings rate is at an all-time low. The nation's educational system is performing well below the best international levels. A disenchanted electorate views federal institutions with increasing cynicism and mistrust. The Strengthening of America Commission proposes a specific blueprint for action to get the nation's fiscal house in order that combines budget deficit reduction with the replacement of the current tax code by a progressive consumption-based tax. The commission recommends three principal initiatives to support a human resources investment strategy: a new system of national standards at the secondary school level; expanded programs of training and apprenticeships for students who enter the work force directly after secondary school and expanded work force training programs; and a comprehensive effort to promote school readiness in young children. The commission also recommends that the government provide an economic environment that helps strengthen the U.S. industrial base. To help break the gridlock in government, the commission recommends structural reforms within the executive and legislative branches. (Appendixes include the following: meeting agendas; staff and working group lists; 128-item bibliography divided into sections concerning capital formation, fiscal policy, human resources, manufacturing and technology, and making Washington work; and separate opinions of commission members.)
