...work ethic also applies to middle-income families. In Houston, Mrs. Marjorie Wrigley, 31, took a secretarial job a year ago to supplement her husband's $11,000 annual income as a supervisor for an oil-equipment firm. Even though more than half of her $7,000-a-year salary goes for the care of their two children and other work-related expenses, the second paycheck has helped. "It seemed that our arguments always centered on how our money should be spent," Mrs. Wrigley says. "With more coming in, we give each other wider latitude." Their recent purchases have...
...check. Typical is a mother of four in suburban Potomac, Md., who revealed her financial picture with the stipulation that she remain anonymous. Though her husband earns $23,500 a year as a Government lawyer, his income is not enough to buy luxuries. So she took a $10,000-a-year teaching job. Since then, the couple has bought a new $60,000 home, two new cars, color TV and other appliances, and plans to take a one-month family vacation in Italy this summer. "When I put my check on the dining-room table, I get respect," she says...
...arrested (though 115 others were), but he was spotted in the crowd. A complaint was filed with the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, which referred the matter to its complaints committee. When the committee reports, Judge Sullivan might be officially reprimanded or suspended from his $25,000-a-year job. His critics question whether a judge can command respect for the law if he breaks it, and how impartially he could preside at a case of any accused demonstrator that might come before him. Judge Sullivan argues that he has a private responsibility as a citizen. "Don't talk...
Pitching Underhand. If he does, maybe then Braves General Manager Paul Richards will do something about the one figure that really bothers Garr: his $14,000-a-year salary, which is a scant $1,500 above the major league minimum. Richards, however, does not impress easily. In 1967, when Garr hit .568 for Grambling College, the scouts, he says, "must have thought they were pitching underhand." When Garr's lawyer called the Braves and said he had this $200,000 player he would "let go for $100,000," Richards dispatched a scout who signed Garr...
...Washington Post alleged that the Teamsters offered him $100,000 a year for the rest of his life if he would give up the presidency. Payments will begin when he is released from jail. As part of the deal, his ailing wife Josephine will keep her $40,000-a-year job directing political activities among Teamster women; young Jimmy reportedly will be named general counsel of the union at $50,000 a year. A Teamster official denied...
