Blockade of Atlantic offshore oil lease sale by judge
Federal Judge Jack B. Weinstein barred the upcoming sale of 800000 offshore acres off New Jersey and New York to await a court decision. The injunction paused the anticipated 400 to 600 million dollar lease bidding, pending a final ruling on a permanent injunction. The suit, led by New York State and Nassau and Suffolk counties with environmental groups, argued drilling would harm economy, environment, and fishing.

Land feud between Opie and Stamford stalls after six years
A Vermont dispute over Opie’s planned 600 to 1,500 vacation homes has kept land in limbo. Opie bought 3418.7 acres for 594000 and a 511000 mortgage, facing Stamford’s forest district zoning. Stamford rejected sale to the National Forest, while Opie sued in 1971 for 1.8 million in damages, halting taxes. The case persists with no clear winner.
