The "ditch" is a projected 120-mile waterway that will connect Lake Erie with the Ohio River at a cost estimated as high as $3 billion. The project has a flock of critics.

It is these hairs that are damaged most in noise-induced deafness. The ones that pick up the high frequencies are the first to wear out, and as the noise bombardment continues, the destruction creeps inward to nerves of lower frequency-all without...
