Bigelow Friends Fight Maine Development Over Mountain
In Western Maine the Friends of Bigelow oppose Flagstaff Corp plans for a 40 000 signature drive to stop a $200 million four season resort with ski area marina hotel and jetport on 8000 acres. Maine residents worry the peak range will be lost to out of state interests while supporters urge preservation and broad access for all Mainers. The dispute pits locals against developers eight miles from Sugarloaf with petitions resuming after a snow delay.

Security National sold to Chemical Bank amid bank turmoil
The Security National bank of Long Island, once the nation’s 53rd largest, faced probable failure amid investor confidence loss and rumors after Franklin National’s collapse. Chemical Bank agreed to buy Security National for 40 million, taking all assets and most liabilities.

Arab Terrorists Flee Orly After Battle With Police
Three Arab terrorists fled Paris after an unsuccessful attack on an Israeli jet at Orly Airport. A gun battle and an overnight hostage siege left 21 people wounded or captured, eight seriously. Hostages escaped as negotiators moved to secure release. Initial notes tied the attackers to a group named Mohammed Boudia Squad, though the note later appeared unsigned.

Old Ideas Stood On Their Heads
Driving in Portland a friend mentioned turning the site of the old Union Station into a passenger rail terminal in Maine. The notion sounds ludicrous yet plausible, given the irony of replacing a grand transit hub with a vacant department store in a city built on mass transit.
