We are not any closer to energy independence than we ever were, and it's been too long. I live on the St. Lawrence River. With some careful planning, 10 reactors could be built along this river, and they would displace fewer than 2,500 people. It's time this country embraced nuclear power. Let's be smart and do it.

Detroit's Melting Pot

What the Arab Americans are doing for Detroit is a lot like what the Chinese did for Flushing, N.Y., and other immigrant groups have done elsewhere ["Detroit's Unlikely Saviors," Nov. 8]. It's just one more reason for a sensible national immigration policy for our nation of immigrants. It has taken hardworking, entrepreneurial people from other lands to see value in and revive places we natives have tired of and discarded. That's something decades of city planning failed to do.
