Class suits hampered by Supreme Court ruling
The Supreme Court ruled that every member of a class must receive personal notice, making plaintiffs pay for notifications and potentially killing many class actions. The ruling targets a $225,000 notification cost for Eisen’s suit representing about 2.25 million identifiable parties in an alleged stock price fixing case.

Mystery man tied to long bizarre career resurfaces
FBI detained Bobby Joe Keesee, 40, in Huntington Beach on extortion charges related to the disappearance of U S diplomat John S Patterson in Hermosillo Mexico. The case has linked Keesee to past high profile episodes including POW repatriations from North Vietnam and a 1962 Cuba asylum attempt, though authorities say no evidence ties him to Patterson’s vanishing.

Sam Ervin halts Blue Ridge dam project in two year study
Senator Sam Ervin won Senate approval to block the Blue Ridge Power Project on the New River for at least two years. The bill designates a 70 mile river stretch for study under Wild and Scenic Rivers Act and blocks Federal Power Commission licensing during the period. The project would have supplied power to six states. Ervin cites protecting the river's ancient ecosystem and his boyhood memories of Morganton.

Maine Yankee to shut down for fuel core inspection
Maine Yankee Atomic Power Co will take its 855 MW reactor offline on June 29 to inspect fuel assemblies after detecting unusual activity in the core. President William H Dunham said pin hole leaks may cause slightly higher radioactivity, but levels remain well within safety limits and the plant is isolated from the environment. The inspection and element replacement timing may shift with New England Power Pool conditions.
