...final argument is that the tax causes losses in output and jobs that far outweigh the $19 billion it will pump into the Treasury this year. Part of the damage results from the sale and breakup of thriving farms and businesses. The environment suffers too, in the opinion of the Environmental Defense Fund. It says lowering the estate tax "may be the most important reform of all" to keep farmland out of the hands of housing developers...
...could be formally charged--of having sex with underage boys. At the same time, similar charges were leveled against Jean-Pierre Grafe, 64, a regional minister who is also homosexual.

If it develops as a genuine commonwealth of genuinely independent states, it will have the support...
...more than two decades, scrappy long-distance carrier MCI has clamped onto AT&T like a demented terrier on a mailman's ankle and refused to let go. It was MCI's antitrust charges against the old Ma Bell that led to the breakup of AT&T's telephone monopoly. Now MCI is joining forces with British Telecommunications--Britain's formerly state-owned telephone company--to form an empire with the clout to go phone-to-phone around the world with AT&T and other giants...
