Maine park ruling leaves both sides unsatisfied
The Maine Supreme Court upheld a 1976 decision allowing Baxter State Park to clear blowdowns but bans heavy machinery. The ruling, prompted by a 1974 windstorm and a 2000 acre wildfire, preserves the park as forever wild while permitting limited salvage with horse teams. Park officials wanted recreation access, environmentalists sought no salvage.

Torrijos protests US Panama canal treaty amendment
Panamanian leader Omar Torrijos reportedly protested a US Senate amendment to the first Panama Canal treaty. Government sources said the confidential message called the measure unacceptable as it preserves US intervention to keep the canal open. Officials expect a public Panamanian statement after the Senate acts on the second treaty. The Arboretum in Washington DC covers 415 acres along the Anacostia River.
