...credit of $500 for each child under 17. Well...not quite everybody. There will probably be phaseouts for high-income people, as there are now for personal exemptions and itemized deductions. Parents of children between 13 and 17 may have to put the credit into an education savings account. Under one plan, the working poor who qualify for an earned-income credit could not also get the per-child credit--at least not right away. But they could carry it forward for three years and claim it, retroactively, if their incomes rose above the cutoff point for the earned-income...
...Fernando Carreira carrying food into the houseboat where two days later he reported spotting Andrew Cunanan. The garbage doesn't match up. Lola Dudley, 57, says she was switching buses down the block on July 21 when she saw Carreira enter the houseboat carrying food. If true, the account would contradict Carreira's claim he had not been there for five days, and would indicate a possible connection with Cunanan. But police say that the only food-related garbage they found on the boat was soda cans, walnut shells and an old cracker...
...whereabouts of Andrew Cunanan on July 23, carry a lunch box and a gallon of milk into the houseboat two days earlier. Lola Dudley, 57, says she was switching buses down the block on July 21 when she saw Carreira enter the houseboat carrying food. If true, the account would contradict Carreira's claim he had not been at the houseboat for five days, and would indicate a possible connection with Cunanan. Police are treating Dudley's story with care, noting that she takes high doses of blood pressure medication, and wondering why she called police immediately after Gianni Versace...
...giant pot of money. "But this is not the tail wagging the dog," insists Frank Salerno, a managing director in charge of index funds at Bankers Trust. Index funds, including the big pension money, account for only 10% of all the money invested in S&P 500 companies. It's unlikely that such a small percentage is dominating the index. The other 90%, which presumably has made reasoned judgments about value, has a lot more to say about where the S&P 500 is going. Yes, prices relative to earnings on big stocks like General Electric and Coca-Cola...
...Texas described as "filled with emotion, filled with passion," ended without calls for the heads of Dick Armey, Tom DeLay and John Boehner, figures implicated in the plot along with Bill Paxon, who stepped-down last week. The lieutenants were let off the hook despite a particularly damaging account by DeLay, who admitted he informed GOP rebels he would vote with them if they moved to unseat Gingrich. Despite the admission, participants said DeLay attempted to soften his confession by saying he made his decision in a cloud of exhaustion after working 18 hours straight. Later, Boehner and Army...
