Hell, for my small work force, I'd be willing to pay those deductibles out of my own pocket. It's the big guys like Bethlehem, U.S. Steel and Consolidation who can't afford them because their labor force...
Israeli Premier has not been doing much to bring it about. Sadat could not possibly afford to appear to be selling out the other Arabs; to do so would be to lose the vital financial support he receives from Saudi Arabia and the other oil-rich states (to the tune of $2 billion to $4 billion a year).

Ever since my parents decided we couldn't afford the psychic toll of another family vacation (the fighting in the back seat finally got to them). I have known, with a sense of doom approximating the feeling of a Christian Scientist with appendicitis, that I will not be embarking on a spree in the Netherlands Antilles, but on a hopeless quest to entertain myself in a deserted suburban wasteland...
