...think the solution would be easy: treat all taxpayers as though they were single. But this is the tax code. Nothing is simple. That treatment would remove a so-called marriage bonus now enjoyed by 25 million "dominant earners." A single person making $60,000 pays about $11,599 to the IRS. But if that person marries, and the spouse stays home with the kids, the tax bite drops about...
...stardom, but carried less fire and more contemplation. Amos' last album, Boys for Pele, took a completely different turn from the path so unabashedly carved out by her two previous release. Fraught with musical experimentation on Amos' new harpsichord and lyrics so bizarre that they must have been in code, "Pele" may have impressed avant-garde musical connoisseurs but left many of her long-time devotees confused and in the dust...
...strong and dedicated man, Rudolph Giuliani of New York, and unafraid. He is also an innovator, bursting with new ideas. (Who else would propose a dress code for teachers?) Of course such a man has enemies. Of course he inspires vitriolic opposition from reactionaries and nihilists in the media, the opposition party and the city's entrenched interests. But the stories! The outrageous fabrications you read and hear. Let me list just a few of the ludicrous mendacities flying about--immediately exploded by the facts...
...time and at far less cost. That would take some doing. When scientists launched the project in 1990, they estimated it was going to take 15 years and cost $3 billion to map the 60,000 to 80,000 human genes and sequence the 3 billion or so chemical code letters in the genome--the tangle of DNA crammed into the nucleus of each human cell...
...does, Venter plans to use what he calls whole-genome shotgunning. Essentially, he will put the entire genome in a dicer that will chop it into millions of segments. These chunks will be fed into 230 newly developed Perkins-Elmer robotic machines that will identify and sequence the DNA code letters in each segment. The company claims that they are 10 times more efficient than current sequencing machines and allow human operators to input in 15 minutes what used to take 24 hours...
