<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/16668/20101115/moving-the-world-anne-harrington</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Nov 15, 2010) Long Lake native Anne Harrington was recently named Deputy Administrator for Defense Nuclear Non-Proliferation. It’s a wordy title. It means she and her staff at the National Nuclear Security Administration keep an eye on materials, outside the U.S., that could be used to make a nuclear weapon. For our occasional series, Moving the World, Harrington spoke with Jonathan Brown about starting out in the Adirondacks and working on global security in Washington D.C.
