A new study has concluded that a "chasm of misunderstanding" exists between news organizations and religious leaders in the United States, resulting in reporting that is often inadequate. But the study said that those shortcomings were due more to ignorance and lack of resources than, as frequently maintained, to anti-religious bias among journalists.

The stock price of Gold Standard Inc. nearly tripled yesterday after a jury awarded $404 million last week in a long-running dispute with Texaco Inc. Gold Standard shares closed at $3.375 yesterday, up $2.063, in Nasdaq trading. The award by a Utah state court jury stems from a 1973 dispute with the Getty Oil Company over a mining agreement involving a gold mine near Salt Lake City. Texaco acquired Getty in 1984. The judge overseeing the case has not yet entered the verdict, and Texaco says it intends to challenge the verdict and may appeal the ruling. Texaco shares fell 50 cents, to $65.125. A Gold Standard spokesman said the jury award, if upheld, would be a windfall for the company, which has been in the development phase and has not reported revenue for 20 years.

Oil prices fell to a three-year low yesterday after the International Energy Agency lowered its forecast for world oil demand by 300,000 barrels a day, while OPEC's oil production continued to grow. Output from the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries rose another 100,000 barrels a day in August, to 24.7 million. OPEC is still a million barrels a day over its third-quarter target and had hoped for stronger demand in the fourth quarter to push up flagging prices.
