A Topeka based chain, Working Man's Friend, used a bargain fuel tactic at the Hypermart station by selling 7,000 gallons of gasoline at 84.9 cents per gallon while retailing at 94.9 cents elsewhere.

In a notable shift, Soviet citizens were allowed to vote and express discontent with party leaders.
