...dams could face a more radical solution. The modest-size Edwards Dam on the Kennebec River in Augusta, Maine, produces electricity but prevents many fish, including salmon and shad, from reaching their spawning grounds. Audubon and Trout Unlimited have called for the dam's removal. So too has the state's Governor, John McKernan Jr.Studies of the proposal and the potential legal brawls could take years, but even the thought of tearing down a dam for ecological reasons is highly unusual...

...they all be squeezed into a single, all-purpose package -- a kind of pocket- size portable office -- that would let brokers buy and sell from a restaurant table, lawyers check precedents from a courtroom, doctors check lab results from a golf course, and salesmen close deals from a trout stream?
