3 TO: FROM: RE: DATE: MEMORANDUM VIA FAX: 907/456-5055 to, etc. Herewith the Amended Opinion in the above case. I was concerned when you called yesterday that the court might have diluted the February 5 Opinion, but the Amended Opinion instead drives a few more' nails in the defendants' coffin.

That sort of adds insult to what is already a grievous injuryI Glad to have been helpful to your cause by carrying the ball for Nevada Power. My co-counsel (the Bloomington, IN McCrea), who is a more aggressive negotiator than I, said, "Get a fishing trip out of it!"
