While wages have increased at an annual rate of 3.3% since 1983, corporations have seen their health-care premiums jump 10% to 15% annually, to a current average of some $3,100 a worker. Economists expect that total U.S. health-care spending will exceed $600 billion this year, nearly 12% of the U.S. gross national product, up from...
Kleck says his study did not consider the question of lives saved. Nor did he conclude, as the N.R.A. claims, that a crime or an assault had been "thwarted" in each of his estimated 645,000 (the ad upped it to 650,000) annual instances of a protective use of a gun.

...nearly two decades Princeton/Newport paid investors a 19% annual return by using computers to take advantage of small discrepancies between the prices of stocks and their associated warrants, which are the rights to buy stocks at a certain price. But then founding partner Jay Regan got greedy. According to the Government's case, the Princeton/Newport executives tried to manipulate the market, starting in mid-1984, through a technique called stock parking. They arranged to sell some securities at a loss and then repurchase them at the same or slightly higher prices. The party ended one wintry day in 1987, when...
