Bomb attack probe at Argentina army base near Videla
Intelligence sources say a powerful plastic explosive was planted inside the reviewing stand at Campo de Mayo base 20 miles southwest of Buenos Aires. The blast would likely have killed President Videla and other officials, but the ceremony ended early and prevented casualties. Civilian employees of a private firm were detained for questioning, and security personnel at the base were also being interrogated. A second story notes San Francisco cable car mechanics face a shrinking workforce while aging cars continue to require scarce skilled labor, with only 12 mechanics left and 39 cable cars in service.
