Finding no evidence that Rita was a bad mother, the judge gave Rebecca and Yasmin back...
...inequity lingers on. And the officials justify their inaction with worthy sentiments about not wishing a cut in the wages of town boys. The College workers, of course, do not advocate such a cut, either. Ninety-four cents an hour plus a meal is a fair wage for the busboy job. The student merely wants his pay raised to this approved level...
