...albums of the 1970s capture the era's wailing, pristinely produced rock sound as crisply as Boston's 1976 self-titled debut--an LP largely defined by the soaring lead vocals and overdubbed harmonies of Brad Delp. With its string of hits (More Than a Feeling, Let Me Take You Home Tonight), the LP sold 17 million copies and started the versatile, philanthropic singer on a career with the band that lasted until his death...
...minute drive that costs $30. We drive past another bar, A Qui La Tour? - which roughly translates as "Whose round is it?" although the driver insists it means "Who am I having sex with next?" There are also several ads for premier banking services, a weather-beaten, 1970s-era hotel offering rooms at $600 a night and a billboard hawking a new model Peugeot ($40,000) behind the slogan: "Don't think about it.

...typical superwoman, I witnessed firsthand the career sacrifices she made in order to accommodate her family above all else. Furthermore, even in the U.S., many families cannot subsist on one income.

...last time taxes rose this fast relative to the economy was in the late 1970s and early '80s, when soaring inflation shoved Americans into ever higher tax brackets--resulting in big tax hikes that Congress never had to vote on. That ended in 1984, when income tax brackets were indexed to inflation. The dread alternative minimum tax (AMT) is not indexed, but despite all the bad press the AMT gets, its budgetary impact has so far been minimal. That will change very soon, barring congressional intervention, but it hasn...
...sticking point is one that has dogged relations between the two nations for the last several years: the fate of Japanese citizens who were abducted by North Korean agents in the 1970s and 1980s. Tokyo insists that there are at least four Japanese still unaccounted for in North Korea. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe - who built his career on his tough stance against Kim Jong Il - has repeatedly insisted that there can be no diplomatic normalization or aid provided as part of any nuclear deal with North Korea unless the abductions are resolved first. That means the safe return...
