...happy one. A patrolman's pay during his first three years is $3,400 annually. Deductions for such things as pensions (some are paying as much as 23% of their salary into the pension fund), uniforms and even ammunition leave many a $3,400-a-year patrolman only $37.19 a week to take home. Since October, the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, which is not a union, has been asking the city to take a larger share of the pension load. It was pushing a bill which would save many patrolmen $220 to $290 a year. New York...

These contain the birds' hardened saliva, basic ingredient of bird's-nest soup. The $100,000-a-year take from this export (to China) does its bit to pull British North Borneo out of the soup economically...
Into a $25,000-a-year vice-presidency at American Airlines last week stepped Carlene Roberts, 37, a pretty Midwesterner who joined the company as a $150-a-month secretary fourteen years ago. She is the first woman in airline history to hold such...
