Charleston report describes Daniel McCormick's 2:15 a.m. rescue after being locked in a car trunk by robbers who used the vehicle in a Summerville holdup. He endured a rough day, including a broken thumb from a basketball game in Columbia, with the sirens as the odd highlight. Nearby Port Coquitlam, a new law forces Larry Moore to reduce his 146 snakes to four in a residential area after complaints about the urban menagerie.

SRP retirements may double at Savannah River Plant
SRP officials forecast at least 500 plant employees will retire on March 31 as the SRP operating contract transfers to Westinghouse. The figure roughly doubles recent average retirements, with replacements already being recruited and trained. George Gilmer of Du Pont says 500 is a solid estimate and notes no employee hostility toward Westinghouse. Up to 2,000 SRP workers are pension eligible, with options to roll over, retire with Du Pont pensions, or retire and join Westinghouse.

Du Pont reached an initial assessment that it would have worked, DOE officials said, and restart remains scheduled for October 4 after annual inspection.
