...than $15,000 a year, on the theory that they need help most and will spend every cent that Uncle Sam lets go of, rather than put their tax savings in the bank. Carter also proposes a modest innovation: $400 million this year to companies that hire hard-to-employ workers (details to come in March). The reasoning is that an expanding economy does not automatically reduce unemployment among the groups most plagued by joblessness; employers who need more help turn first to the most experienced workers, and these generally turn out to be adult white males, whose unemployment rate...
MOST APPALLING IS the lack of invention. Reiner and Gelbart employ three basic jokes throughout the movie; one, the "God as a funny-rumpled-schlemiel joke," where He talks about the '69 Mets as the last great miracle after the Red Sea; two, the "he'll pop up anywhere" routine, in which Burns will drive by in a cab, control all the stations on a car radio, or appear suddenly in a supermarket aisle (this type of thing has been used from Topper to Bewitched, and was employed to greater comic effect by a steel-jawed villain in this summer...

In December, she announced that OSHA is abolishing 1,100 of its more than 10,000 regulations; her hit list will require more than 250 pages of explanation in the Federal Register. By reducing trivia...
Companies accused of selling unsafe products have drawn steadily harsher penalties from courts and regulatory agencies in recent years. Last week that trend was significantly advanced by Jus tice Department felony indictments against Chicago-based Velsicol Chemical Corp. and six present and former employ ees. The executives, all of whom could face prison terms, are charged with con spiring to conceal from the Environmental Protection Agency the results of tests that showed that two widely used pesticides may cause cancer in humans. The indictment is the first ever sought by the EPA against a company for covering up adverse information...
