London summit of seven Commonwealth nations split over South Africa measures with six adopting rigorous sanctions while Britain opts for a limited package. Thatcher vows to proceed slowly, citing Commonwealth unity and a compromise that will include voluntary investment controls and tourism promotion, while sanctions target new investment and imports. The rand weakened as markets weighed the impact, and Desmond Tutu welcomed the move during a visit to Japan.

Inspectors to survey fire damage at Peoples Drug store
Building inspectors return today to Peoples Drug Store in Prospect Shopping Center to assess structure damage after a three alarm blaze early Monday.

High's Western Zone Manager Ralph Farris says store will be closed about a month for cleanup and restocking. Peoples District Manager Ed Beasley notes it is too early to determine the future. Pharmacy and medical records were saved and moved to Peoples at Frederick Shopping Center.
