...jurors evidently agreed. William Link, 30, an employee of Manufacturers Hanover Trust Co., said they believed Bronfman had faked his imprisonment. The rope used to bind him was flimsy, for one thing, and the blindfold placed on him looked like a flip visor.

Although more wells are expected to be drilled this year than last (41,800, v. 39,097), production is expected to be off 3.3%, continuing a long, slow slide that began in 1971. The slide is expected to extend into 1978, when Alaskan oil will begin flowing...
