Landon Turner Summer news X ragedy struck lU basketball star Landon Turner when the car he was driving went out of control and crashed July 25 on Indiana 46 near Columbus. Turner and three friends were traveling to King ' s Island in Ohio. He suffered a broken vertebra and was left partially paralyzed in his hands and legs. Basketball coach Bob Knight, former Indiana governor Otis Bowen, and several of Turner ' s teammates visited him in Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis. Almost im- mediately, a loosely organized cam- paign formed to raise money to offset Turner ' s medical costs. It in- cluded benefit basketball games, a Landon Turner Night at Oscar ' s, and personal donations. Turner ' s accident, coupled with Isiah Thomas ' s decision to turn pro- fessional after his sophomore year, put frowns on the faces of many fans who were hoping for a repeat per- formance of lU ' s 1981 national oas- ketball championship. In mid sum- mer, Thomas, an All-American guard, signed a multiyear contract with the Detroit Pistons for an es- timated $400,000 a season. I srael ' s military force shined on June 7 when its jet bombers de- stroyed an Iraqi nuclear reactor. Israel officials justified the raid by saying that Iraq would use the plant to produce nuclear weapons for use against their country. The raid dam- pened U.S. envoy Philip Habib ' s nopes of convincing Syria to remove the missiles it had placed in Lebanon and aimed toward Israel. Critics claimed that Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin used the Iraqi bombing mission to draw pub- lic support in the upcoming elec- tions. Begin needed all the help he could get as his Likud Bloc party nar- rowly defeated the opposition Labor Party in parliamentary elections. In Iran, hundreds of supporters of ousted president Abolhassan Bani- Sadr were executed by the regime of AyatoUah Khomeni. Bani-Sadr had been stripped of his powers as presi- dent ana as commander-in-chief of Iran ' s armed forces because of his opposition to the dominant Islamic Party. He fled to France in exile. Bani-Sadr said the terror in Iran was worse than during the days of Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi. Khomeini, calling Bani-Sadr a criminal, demanded his expedition from France. After French President Francois Mitterand refused to return Bani-Sadr, Iranians began protest- ing outside the French Embassy in Teneran. French officials, fearing that hostages might be taken, quick- ly recallea its embassy staff. I n France, Mitterand, a socialist who was elected president in April, proposed nationalization of his country ' s banks and 11 major in- dustries. This caused panic selling on the French stock market, nearly causing it to collapse. Across the English Channel, Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer married in a fairy tale wedding in July. But not everytning in England was as rosy as the royalweddmg. Riots raged for nearly two weeks in the streets of London, Liverpool, Maid- stone, and 30 other British cities. Many blamed the rioting on Britain ' s poor economic conditions and high unemployment rate. British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher even- tually formed a task force to study
