...million juvenile salmon, called smolts, a year. Slack pools created by reservoirs behind the dams have slowed the smolts' traveling time from seven days to six weeks. This increases their exposure to predators and to higher water temperatures that make them susceptible to disease. The combination can be fatal, throwing off the delicate biological clock that allows the salmon to adapt miraculously from fresh to salt water once they get to the sea. The smolts that survive face a grisly threat: the majority end up ground to a pulp in the deadly turbines that create the cheapest electricity...

And while fraud has not been alleged against Pfizer, the New York City-based company will set aside $500 million for problems arising from one of its now discontinued artificial heart valves, which exhibit a sometimes fatal tendency to crack inside the body...
