...That you're-on-your-own ethos is already beginning to change - a little. In 2006 Congress passed a law that has brought positive changes to the 401(k) savings plans that for many Americans have replaced pensions.

Show it to them once--and then see if you can pull them away...
...most people will get so tired of going through hundreds of pages from people out walking their dogs at night who see a white light in the sky," he says. And even if a reader should stumble across a sign of something that seems alien, the reams of paperwork aren't likely to explain it. "There is no smoking gun in these files," Pope says. "There's no spaceship in an airplane hangar." Still, he's not ready to dismiss the prospect that there's something deep in the data to suggest that there is indeed something out there...
