Fiji coup chief vows Indian exile to safeguard Fijian rule
Sitevene Rabuka, the 38 year old ethnic Fijian leader, said the bloodless takeover would safeguard Fijian land and way of life and set a new constitution to ensure ethnic Fijian supremacy. Indians protested as Rabuka’s troops closed offices and guards sealed government buildings while Bavadra’s party remained under house arrest.

Soviet Energia booster tests space shuttle program
The Soviet Union reported a successful Energia booster test capable of placing a shuttle into orbit, but a full scale mock-up satellite failed to reach orbit as it splashed into the Pacific. Tass said first stage landed as planned and the second reached a preselected Pacific point. A Western diplomat suggested Energia is the shuttle booster, with next year as the probable launch window.
