Texas Supreme Court stays Coastal States judges war orders
The Texas Supreme Court suspended four court orders in the Coastal States dispute and set Sept. 17 for petitions for writs of mandamus against several judges. A Houston hearing on consolidating six suits into one remains planned, with judges in Corpus Christi and San Antonio issuing injunctions. Plaintiffs seek nullification of those moves, while Coastal argues all issues arise from a single suit by United Texas Transmission Co. demanding damages exceeding $1 billion.

Great gold rush of seventy five loses glitter
The 1975 lifting of the bullion ban failed to spark a rush as prices fell from about 190 to 150 dollars an ounce. Analysts cite lack of U S ownership tradition, rising prices deterring buyers, anxiety about counterfeit bars, and costs to assay and redeposit gold.
