...Bhopal litigation is expected to dwarf those disputes. Approximately 2,000 people were killed and 200,000 injured by the lethal cloud of methyl- isocyanate gas from a Union Carbide pesticide plant (which the company last week announced will never reopen). "The worst industrial disaster mankind has ever known," charged Robins Zelle's formal complaint. India is seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages on behalf of itself, the victims and "future generations of victims...
Because of its huge losses, Home State will be allowed to reopen only if it is merged with a much larger bank. Manhattan's Citicorp and Chemical New York are showing interest but have made no commitments. Home State's customers desperately hope for a buyer to come along because the new Ohio legislation does not require the failed bank to give them even the $750 a month.

That is an understandable stipulation: whether or not Reagan would be willing to negotiate Star Wars...
...methyl isocyanate unit, which employs about 40 of the 3,000 workers at the West Virginia plant, will reopen with a number of new protection features. Among the improvements: a $175,000 computer system to provide instant notification of leaks and pressure changes. Company investigators are also examining each of the unit's existing safety systems. Governor Arch Moore praised Union Carbide's restart announcement as welcome news. Institute townspeople were pleased too. Said Charles White, 60, a longtime resident: "MIC is one of the bread-and-butter products for Union Carbide. I think they need that product...
