Missouri Bootheel May Be Next Great Earthquake Center
Scientists warn the bootheel of Missouri could host the next major quake by 2000, with a 25 percent chance of striking the Mississippi Valley and causing up to 15 billion dollars in Midwest damage. The quake from the New Madrid Fault would threaten Arkansas Kentucky Missouri and Tennessee, disrupting rivers and national communications. The workshop urges building code upgrades and retrofits to strengthen foundations against tremors.

Isuzu to Build Subcompact Car for GM in 1984
GM will team with Isuzu Motors Ltd to design and produce a subcompact car for the 1984 model year. The move marks GM’s first use of a foreign manufacturer to replace an existing line, signaling a shift to cost competitiveness with Japanese-made subcompacts. Analyst Harvey Heinbach notes labor deals still leave GM unable to match domestic subcompact costs.
