By contrast, the cost of removing the Edwards Dam was just $3 million; it is estimated that taking out the Elwha dams will cost about $180 million, including a $30 million federal buyout of the dams' private owners...
...attack and ensuing protests?far from the worst India has seen?the mood on both sides of the border finally seems to be moving beyond a half-century of confrontation. Today, Indians and Pakistanis meet as friends in business, on movie screens and on the cricket pitch. And in contrast to the murderous outrage that used to follow suspected Islamic attacks on Indian soil, there were no reports of reprisals against Muslims in India last week...
