Working together, the team hopes to improve as they continue to focus on Easterns. The Crimson travels upstream to face MIT on Thursday...
...Montana are demanding their fair share of it. "As water gets short, tempers get shorter," says Loble. "To prevent anarchy on the streams, there needs to be a water cop." Thanks to Loble's careful oversight and the water court's new electronic measuring devices, which make sure that upstream users don't hog all the river flow, more people in Montana got water this year than in 1988. Sometimes, Loble says, just holding a meeting is all it takes to get two disputing parties to work together. And other times Loble gets tough. A few weeks ago, a rancherwas...
...Upstream in the Dakotas, river-fed reservoirs have stimulated an $86 million annual tourist business. There residents are in favor of using the dams to mimic the natural flow.

In Garrison, S.D., behind the vast reservoir created by the Garrison Dam, businesses see their sales fluctuate with the level of the reservoir. Last year sales hit $11 million, but in years when the corps sends water south to keep barges from running...

Boiling water is still diverted by a system of sluices to communal bathing pools, where the upstream temperatures cool down for a pleasant natural spa soak.

The Pentagon has boasted of hundreds dead, but they aren't evident in the valley. In Sarkhankhel, only three bodies are visible. Farther upstream, another lies in pieces in a garden. The special forces are cagey about numbers. "Even if we did have them," says a soldier, "we wouldn't be authorized to disclose them." But the Americans insist that the death toll is high. "I've seen them," says Alabama Chris, of al-Qaeda...
