...company can claim deductions only if it is hiring at least 3% more workers than the year before. Declining firms that need help the most are thus left out. Worse still, under the Ullman plan, no company may claim deductions exceeding $40,000 or enter claims for more than 24 people (unless the new employees are handicapped or disabled). This $40,000 cap means that only small firms can take advantage of the plan; the nation's major industrial corporations, which are the most important generators of jobs, are effectively excluded.

But he absolves the press-"It merely reflects what is happening on the streets"-and blames instead the growing assertiveness of the individual. "We are moving from a time...
Malibu is not real, however, because there is no checkout time. Rock musicians live in baggage-claim areas and hotel suites. Last month she hit Washington as if it were any other one-night stand, sang at Jimmy Carter's Inaugural concert ("I was so nervous. My God, I was awful!") and then, on a whim, freighted on to Manhattan to watch a performance of NBC's Saturday Night show and to hang out with actors and rock friends. New York's Plaza, that swan-bosomed dowager among luxury hotels, has become a favorite roosting place...
