Mr. Bailie had charged that emissions from the Hanford Nuclear Facility had been causing health problems in the region for forty years; Mr. Fox says, "The Hanford operation is one of the safest operations in the state"; Ms. Steele's research leads her to concur with Mr. Bailie, although she points out that "The U.S. Department of Energy has never done a baseline study--who was here, where they went, and how they were affected." The show suffers from Mr. Fox's tentativeness as a debater, but we still learn a lot. In Mr. Buckley's summation: "Let's by all means say to the government: Find out what's going on. And say to the scholars: Find out what did go on, and attempt to distinguish between the two. Meanwhile, don't let perestroika, as Mr. Shrum suggests, give us a false sense of complacency."
