Cubans Prove Air Defenses Nil In South
House Armed Services investigators say U S air defenses failed to spot a Cuban airliner before it landed in New Orleans last fall. The report warns of a possible attack from the south with little detection and calls for an over the horizon radar and faster defense upgrades. NORAD officials say southern coverage would cost 70 to 125 million dollars as radar gaps persist.

GM researchers Bowditch say tech limits block production cars meeting 1975 76 standards and Ford notes its Proco engine is not yet ready for production.
