Sluggish economy persists with weak auto production

Pentagon weighs larger warhead for MX missile
A senior defense official says the Pentagon tentatively plans arming the MX missile with a far more powerful warhead than the Mark 12A on some Minuteman III missiles. The Mark 12A yields about 335,000 tons of TNT, and the new design would be significantly greater.
