Ford energy plan may cost families up to 345 a year
White House officials say Ford energy measures could raise costs by 95 to 345 dollars annually. Eight Northeastern governors filed suit accusing Ford of misusing a tax law to curb consumption without public or congressional input. The action targets imported oil pricing and domestic production with similar suits from New England Power Co. and Rep Drinan.

Macaws Hint at 14th Century Trade Across New Mexico
Two Scarlet Macaw skeletons found at Arroyo Hondo Pueblo near Santa Fe suggest long distance exchange between northern New Mexico communities and distant Mesoamerican traders up to 1,000 miles away. The remains, dating to about 1335 and buried in a major plaza, indicate birds were transported rather than locally bred. Archaeologists from the School of American Research, with NSF funding, study Casas Grandes as a trade link.
