Mitsubishi takes back marketing rights from Chrysler and plans to sell cars in North America through its own distribution network next fall. The move follows Chrysler's slower sales of Mitsubishi-built cars while other Japanese brands surge in the U.S. market. Chrysler gains nonexclusive rights to future Mitsubishi products, a favorable outcome for Mitsubishi and a setback for American marketing.

Letter criticizes The Southern Illinoisan for running a April 27 image of the Marion Show Stoppers and a Saluki dog instead of highlighting Christy, a 13 year old Carterville girl who walked and ran the 17.2 mile Walk America course. Christy’s endurance and finish pose better captured the event's spirit than the pompous display.

Thompson backs Reagan budget cuts to Illinois
Springfield Governor James Thompson, once considered a possible Republican candidate, defends Reagan's spending plan. He outlines state savings of about 200 million dollars and expects Illinois to lose hundreds of millions in federal revenue sharing and Medicaid funds. Thompson promotes block grants and faster government reduction while warning education and poor programs will face cuts. His stance draws mixed reaction from Illinois leaders and Democrats, who fear political vulnerability as the economy shifts.
