Pipeline security fears erupt in Fairbanks area
Alaska residents near Fairbanks fear the 800 mile trans Alaskan oil line is vulnerable to sabotage. Police report a hole drilled north of Fox last month released 750,000 gallons, with fears the line could burn or explode. Experts say full security would require 42,000 guards costing 3.3 billion yearly, while Alyeska employs 100 to 300 sentries. Local youths play with the pipe, and a Yukon River bridge blast is seen as a greater threat to the pipeline system and the state economy.

Coal miner's bills mount despite strike and debt
Doug Sharp, a 44 year old AMAX Coal mine worker, has been out on strike since December 6. With seven children, a weekly income of about 1400 dollars has vanished, leaving $60 in the bank and bills piling up including a $307 house payment and a $400 monthly food cost. The family borrowed 1200 dollars, sold assets, and relied on tax refunds while hoping for a mine check. Sharp expects miners to approve the new contract by a slim margin and plans a steak dinner after paying the house payment.

The Supreme Court was asked to strike down Iowa's sales based corporate income tax, arguing it imposes a tariff on imports and subsidizes exports. Moorman Manufacturing contends the plan burdens out of state firms and gives Iowa firms an edge, while Iowa argues broad state leeway in tax formula.
