Salmon lesson Atlantic Salmon restoration efforts face grim realities	Erik Hoffner	09 Jul 2008	Gristmill
Stocks of wild salmon in the North Pacific are in trouble. That's news.

Tilting at Windmills Activists are split on a proposed wind project off Cape Cod	Amanda Griscom	19 Dec 2002	Powers That Be
Look there, friend Sancho Panza, where 30 or more monstrous giants rise up, all of whom I mean to engage in battle and slay, and with whose spoils we shall begin to make our fortunes.
