What's more, a Wesleyan student last week filed similar charges against a group of schools, including Harvard. If he turns his case into a class action suit and wins, many students could be awarded damages for being overcharged. That could mean millions of dollars in your pockets and in mine...
Bentsen won acclaim for an alternative proposal: encourage savings by expanding the deduction for contributions to Individual Retirement Accounts. This would provide tax benefits mostly to the middle class while simultaneously creating a pool of investment funds, a goal of the capital- gains reduction. Before IRA deductions were restricted in 1986, however, they cost the Treasury $16 billion a year in lost taxes. Bentsen's proposal is unlikely to stop the stampede to cut capital gains, and it could become the next giveaway that Congress and the President will seize upon.

Today Atlantic City has enough class to bring Cher, the queen of camp, back to the concert stage, enough savvy to have harvested $2.73 billion in the last year from bettors in its casinos, and enough allure to be the most popular destination in America. But the benefits of this resurrection have been unevenly shared. "This...
