Americans Face Economics Challenges conomic problems, Tylenol murders, a major football strike and the deaths of four remarkable, well-admired people, were some of the significant news events happening both nationally and worldwide. At the start of 1982, the reces- sion was 6 months old, by the year's end, it had become the longest business slump in the post-war era. Unemployment climbed steadily from 8.5'Ml to 10.8'M,, the highest rate in 42 years. A new kind of Iunacy that re- mained unsolved was the Tylenol murders. Cyanide-laced, Extra Strength Tylenol killed seven peo- ple in the Chicago area. Johnson and Johnson, makers of the pro- duct, spent S1O0 million recalling their capsules. Tragic deaths existed not only in politics but, in the movie industry as well. The shocking death of Princess Grace who died in a car accident, stunned Americans, as did the deaths of Hollywood movie stars Henry Fonda and Ingrid Bergman. Leonid Brezhnev, Soviet President also died of a heart attack. . W'-ewes' ,il . . , ' f.:?i-'-Y 1 -v A X. 3.
