Hyatt walkways collapse at Kansas City hotel death toll 113
Five investigative teams will sort conflicting accounts of the Hyatt Regency walkways collapse in Kansas City. The death toll rose to 113 with 186 injured as a 75 yard long concrete bridge fell from the fourth floor onto a second floor bridge and into the lobby where 1,500 patrons gathered for a big band dance. Witnesses described dancing or swaying on the spans while others watched below. Damaged spans and crowds trapped in debris prompted hours of rescue work.

Nationwide Strike Threat as Postal Talks Stall
Washington AP The two largest postal unions and management remain far apart Sunday as talks to avert a nationwide strike approach midnight Monday. Union leaders call management’s three year pay freeze an insult seeking annual 5 percent raises, a 2.7 percent catch up, and a better cost of living formula. They want a 35 hour week and an extra holiday, while the Postal Service estimates the demands would cost 20.5 billion and lift first class rates to 45 cents by 1984, though union leaders say inflation would bound rates.
