'Buzz One Four' is the forthcoming documentary film from Portland-based filmmaker Matt McCormick that tells the tale of the "ill-fated flight of a Cold War Air Force B-52 bomber loaded with two thermonuclear bombs that crashed approximately 100 miles from Washington DC in 1964..."

No longer dominated by the traditional “Big Green” groups that were taking big donations from corporate polluters, the new environmental movement is broader, more assertive and more creative.

He's trying to offer himself up as an alternative to Hillary Clinton. But the way he's governed Maryland belies the progressive image he tried so, so hard to portray when he's outside of Maryland.
