Army Tabs Chrysler To Develop Tanks
Army Secretary Hoffmann announced Friday Chrysler Corp will develop the army’s advanced battle tank to meet any adversary over 20 to 25 years. Chrysler beat General Motors for the contract, potentially buying 3,325 tanks for about 4.7 billion, with a turbine engine and a 105 or 120 mm gun, aiming for higher survivability and mobility than West German Leopard I and other tanks. The choice cited engineering superiority and cost savings, and development funding of 6.2 million was approved to proceed.

Stern Finds Carter Arts Report Useful but Vague
Violinist Isaac Stern called the Carter task force report on the arts "lovely" yet unclear in meaning. He warned about concentrating on an organized platform and questioned annual budgeting for federal arts support while noting the need for ongoing scrutiny of programs. The piece also recalls a 1966 Israeli military action in Jordan with jets overhead.
