JERRY FULLER, white, 38, former $14,000-a-year electrical engineer who helped build the command module for the 1969 moon landing, is not sure he can hang on to the house in Granada Hills, Calif., where he lives with his wife Pat and three young daughters. "Welfare just doesn't pay enough to make the mortgage payments, buy food, pay doctor bills," he says. After he was laid off in April, 1970, by the North American Rockwell Corporation, he spent seven months seeking another engineering job. He still sends out resumes. But he has been able to find...
...would make up the difference? Prosperous graduates, who would pay more out of their higher incomes and thus subsidize the others. If a $20,000-a-year man had borrowed $2,000, for instance, he would repay $180 annually, or a total of $5,400 over the 30-year period. Those expecting to become affluent would have an incentive to join the plan at the beginning of their education as insurance against financial problems later. If they had enough money at midcareer, they could "buy out" their obligation for twice what they had borrowed, plus accrued interest...
Whenever stockbrokers gather these days, talk usually turns to the dispiriting topic of unemployment. Among the season's favorite horror stories are those of the $100,000-a-year Smith, Barney man who is now pumping gas in San Francisco, the top Nevada broker who works as a short-order cook in Reno, and the uncounted troop of Wall Street casualties who drive taxis in New York City.

...other hand, the distaff White House press corps gives Connie credit for holding twice-weekly press briefings, something that Liz Carpenter, Lady Bird's press secretary, did only on big stories and Mrs. Van der Heuvel never did. She works twelve-hour days at her $30,000-a-year job, without the tranquilizers used by Mesdames Carpenter and Van der Heuvel. And unlike her West Wing counterpart, Ron Ziegler, Connie attempts to answer all questions, though she does not hesitate, with a theatrical roll of her eyes, to show her disapproval of certain queries. Because of her mugging...
Disillusioned Mentor. A directors' revolt forced Keck out of his $ 150,000-a-year job. He was a smart operations man, but he irritated board members by his strong-willed stands, often on minor issues. Some directors thought that his spending on new equipment was excessive, given the state of business. They criticized him for pressing the Civil Aeronautics Board too hard to increase fares and reduce competition...
