No to Indian Point
<p>In its explosive fragmentation of the word <em>No</em>, this piece represents an emphatic rejection of the continuing operation of Indian Point, a nuclear energy facility in Buchanan, New York, not far from Stein’s home. In the mid-1990s, Indian Point had numerous operational problems, leading to legislative and public hearings in which the issue of shutting the plant down was considered. <em>No to Indian Point</em> is exceptional among Stein’s weavings in its forthright political stance.</p>
