No Rise in Shark Population Seen Despite Sightings
New England shark expert John Casey says coastal checks last week show no higher shark numbers than usual despite ongoing sightings in Rhode Island waters. He noted about 100 sharks were caught and tagged during a seven day survey 100 miles south of Block Island, and predicted many more sightings due to the movie Jaws.

Cotton Leader Copy Fight Over Senate Seat Plan
Former U S Senator Norris Cotton says he had no warning of Governor Meldrim Thomson plan to appoint him to Washington as a temporary senator until a special election. Cotton told reporters at the State House he would consider going if asked, but doubted he would be seated long. In other notes, Princess Anne and her husband Phillip clashed with reporters at a media session for the Ledyard Farms Horse Trials, banning recorders and notebooks and demanding careful framing of questions. The event draws 115 horses with European teams, following a prior appearance by the princess two years ago during the same trials.
