Congress, however, will still have to pass legislation to abolish federal margin rules, and Colorado Democrat Timothy Wirth, whose House subcommittee would be the first group to pass on the Federal Reserve's recommendations, is somewhat cool to the proposal. Says he: "I don't think we want to do anything to make the market more volatile...
...N.Y.S.E.'s largest loser of 1984 was Colorado's Storage Technology, a computer-equipment manufacturer, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in October. Investors also became discouraged with Western Union when it failed to recoup quickly its investment in new services like electronic mail. Hesston, a Kansas-based farm-equipment maker whose stock was among the best performers in 1983, suffered last year from depressed sales. Cincinnati's Omnicare, a hospital supplier, fell into disfavor after an accounting adjustment cut its profits. Williams Electronics of Chicago was zapped by declining interest in its coin-operated video games...
...Whom the Bell Tolls, it is an allegory designed subtly to reverse the moral onus of the Viet Nam War. The U.S. is invaded by Communist forces (Cubans and Nicaraguans in the service of the Soviets), and the teen-age American heroes and heroines take to the Colorado hills to form a guerrilla band.

...Christmas lights on the sturdy, 30-ft.

A large screen showed Ronald and Nancy Reagan presiding over the annual lighting ceremony of the national Christmas tree from the South Portico of the White House, 500 yards away. The President did what the heads of many U.S. families do at Christmas observances: reflect on the meaning of the celebration, offer hope for the less fortunate and remember those who must spend this most personal...
Even some advocates of capital-punishment laws are uneasy about actually imposing the penalty. Oregon voters, who abolished the death penalty by referendum in 1964, reimposed it the same way last month, but only in cases involving wanton murderers who would otherwise pose a "threat to society." The Colorado legislature this year passed a tough new capital-punishment statute co-sponsored by State Senator Ray Powers. Even so, Powers declares, "we're just not a death-penalty state like, say, Florida, and this law isn't going to make...
