The chronic inability of these young people to get jobs, even during a boom time, has become one of the most painful and persistent economic problems facing the U.S. Says Robert Coard, executive director of Action for Boston Community Development: "This syndrome is having a terrible impact on the morale...
...marina named the A/C D/C. He is 58. One of the few things he would tell a reporter was that he was raised in New York's Hell's Kitchen and never went past the seventh grade.

Have it all, said Cole-Whittaker. If you're in an unhappy marriage, chuck it--as she herself has done four times. One of her key postulates: "Prosperity is your divine right...
...every bigwig in their new political tribe. But then Jeane Kirkpatrick is no ordinary voter. When the departing U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations confided that she was severing a lifelong affiliation with the Democratic Party and planning to register as a Republican, G.O.P. officials gleefully scheduled a celebration bash for April 3 and sent out invitations decorated with a drawing of a dancing elephant.
