Delayed Dam. Many residents of Minot took the evacuation with equanimity.

Last month, for the first time in 141 years, an 8-lb. 4-oz. adult female salmon was fished up by workers from the screens of a London power station. Presumably, it had migrated up the river to spawn in the now pristine waters.
