Gorbachev orders land redistributed to private farmers
President Mikhail Gorbachev has ordered the distribution of badly managed state owned land to private farmers to boost food supplies. Tass said the plan begins in spring with up to 19000 square miles of land to be allocated to peasant farms leaseholders cooperatives and individuals as an urgent land reserve. The total area is not yet determined and an inventory of irrationally used land will occur in the first half of the year. Across Russia and Ukraine cities face rationing and rising prices in government shops and farmers markets.

Bank of New England Seized in 2.3 Billion Bailout
Federal regulators seized Bank of New England and its Massachusetts Connecticut and Maine banks ending a year-long struggle with the region's real estate slump. The FDIC created bridge banks, injected 750 million from the insurance fund, and may sell. The bailout, projected at 2.3 billion, aims to restore capital but raises taxpayer concerns amid high unemployment and a glut of bad real estate assets. Analysts warn further bank failures could follow if the economy and real estate markets do not recover.
