Argentina is "The Take." "No Logo," her book on globalization and
marketing was an international bestseller. Her latest book is "The
Shock Doctrine."

Agency calls for
Willamette dam fish passage--Kboo's Nathan Jimenez has the story:
A federal agency
says three dams in the Willamette Valley should have fish passage structures if
the stream's Chinook salmon and Steelhead are to avoid extinction.
The National
Marine Fisheries Service released an assessment
Friday of the operation of the 13

the dams and other parts of the basin's flood control project keep them out of
their historic spawning grounds upstream and damage their habitat downstream.
