Iran is still sitting on a big stockpile of bomb-grade uranium. This new 60 Minutes segment explores how the US might remove it, cooperatively (as we've done elsewhere) or by force (much more difficult).
"Consumers don’t just tolerate small businesses – increasingly, they choose them as a reaction against big corporations.
Small businesses fill a void that big businesses don’t. Big companies scale efficiency. Small businesses scale relevance."

I was working for a member of Congress in 1994 when Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard testified to a House committee about Ticketmaster prices. Every intern on Capitol Hill tried to get into that session. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lR8U...
