Saint Joseph's High School at Emmitsburg faces closing
The Emmitsburg Saint Joseph's High School is imperiled with an August 1982 deadline as rising tuition and declining enrollment threaten its viability.

A tuition tax credits measure in Congress is proposed to bolster private education funds.

FBI Swindler and Fronts Tied to Abdul Enterprises Scam
The piece details a complex Abscam style fraud involving Joe Meltzer and FBI personnel. Meltzer promised Intersea millions in Abdul Enterprises loans, took up-front commissions, and drew in other inventors. FBI agents allegedly staged phony investments, impersonated a senator's relative, and warned victims while concealing the ruse. The story also covers a separate Taiwan adoption dispute where U.S. and Hong Kong officials blocked reunification of Mary Catherine Reese with her foundling daughter Omara Marie Reese.
