Port Authority to Appeal SST Landing Ban at Kennedy
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey plans to appeal a court ruling ordering test landings of the Concorde SST at Kennedy Airport, saying the 17 month ban was unreasonable discriminatory and unfair. A separate report says a tropical storm drenched southern California with heavy rains, causing millions in damage and eight deaths. In Big Sur, a 145 mile firebreak was strengthened as the line neared containment after scorching 157 800 acres. In Santa Cruz a lone gunman held 63 people hostage at a religious retreat before surrendering to police and facing kidnapping and auto theft charges.
