Fort Sheridan and Chanute Near Base Closures
The Defense Secretary approved the commission’s base closure list affecting 86 installations. If Congress does not block it within 45 days, closures become effective January 1, 1990 with completion by 1995, saving about 693 million annually but costing roughly 9,000 civilian jobs. Carlson emphasizes long overdue action to strengthen defense and cut costs.

Education level ties to smoking habits study finds
Dr. Michael Fiore of the University of Wisconsin reports that people with less than a high school diploma are five times more likely to smoke than those with four or more years of college. The study, analyzing 1974 to 1985 data, notes young women aged 20 to 24 show the highest initiation rate and that in 1985 men still smoked more, though the gap narrowed.
