Ambulances and private cars ferried maimed and disfigured victims for emergency treatment to Tarragona, Valencia and 120 miles northeast to Barcelona. West German and Swiss rescue planes were pressed into service to transport others to specialized burn centers in their home countries. But doctors predicted that most of the injured, burned over 90% of their bodies, could not survive...
...Canadian Ministry of Transport also tested the cars and reached the same general conclusion, but it had some reservations. The Canadians were concerned that when the Omni or Horizon is traveling at high speed, and the steering wheel is yanked sharply to one side, then released and allowed to swing free while the driver keeps his foot on the gas, the wheel oscillates back and forth. This characteristic was not a "defect" but was "undesirable," said the Canadian engineers, and they feel Chrysler should correct it.

...Vice President a cordial welcome, TIME has learned that other high-ranking officials actually orchestrated several noisy "Mondale go home" demonstrations by members of the religious nationalist Gush Emunim group, which has sponsored a number of West Bank settlements.

...sight as a ruler for a huge country (905,562 sq. mi.) with seemingly insoluble tribal conflicts. The French government is anxious to remove the 700 Foreign Legionnaires who freed Kolwezi and replace them with a peace-keeping force to be furnished by several African states. Last weekend U.S. transport planes began flying French troops out of Zaïre and replacing them with Moroccans as the first units of a peace-keeping command. But unless the legionnaires are replaced by a force more stable than Mobutu's army, many of the 12,000 Europeans still in Shaba may well leave...
