Who chooses sites for California industry
Editorial contrasts Pete Wilson and Gov. Brown on industrial location. Wilson criticizes Brown’s plan to regulate site choice and argues business sites are driven by markets, labor, and an inviting climate. The piece cites tax red tape, notes Dow Chemical’s Bay Area exit, and urges inventory tax repeal to lure plant investment and create jobs with new revenue.

Equality of justice for juvenile females in crime system
A study for the American Bar Association finds that about 75 percent of females under 18 charged and incarcerated for status offenses face gender bias. The Female Offender Resource Center reports girls receive fewer services and harsher confinement than boys, with minor offenses counted as crimes. The ABA notes federally funded female related delinquency projects and local juvenile justice funds are a small share of totals.

Military medical regions may be cut under Defense plan
The Defense Department considers eliminating five of thirteen military medical regions to streamline patient flow and reflect smaller forces. Col. Theodore Wood says the study is finished though details remain under review by Health Council members led by Dr. Robert N. Smith. If approved by Secretary Harold Brown and Congress, the plan reshapes hospital tiering and centralizes policy coordination, with exemptions for national centers and potential impact on military dependents' care.

Fidel Castro plotted 1949 frogman raid on Nixon at Key Biscayne
A long disputed account claims Fidel Castro, then a Cuban leader, planned a 1949 underwater assault against Richard Nixon at his Key Biscayne residence. The plan involved frogmen planting devices to blow up the security complex and Nixon home, with an agent pressuring a Cuban-American servant to aid. The servant reported threats and the plan was described as contingent, never executed.
