...publicize are striking enough. The principal one is that companies no longer have to draw up written affirmative action plans unless they have at least 250 employees and Government contracts worth $1 million a year. Formerly, the standard had been 50 employees and $50,000 in Government contracts. The employers who will be exempted constitute 75% of the 200,000 companies that now do some kind of federally paid work, but employ only about 25% of the 30 million workers on federal projects...
Another important provision: an employer who has only 80% as many women or minority employees as the Government might think "reasonable," would be excused from setting a timetable to hire the remaining 20%. To take a plausible example, a building firm of a certain size figures it should employ ten black construction laborers in Philadelphia to please the Government, given the availability of black labor in that area and the size of its total work force. If the firm actually has only eight black laborers, it need not tell the Government how soon it proposes to hire two more...
...watery fastness. In April he announced a new venture, the Enterprise Development Corp., owned by a nonprofit organization, the Enterprise Foundation. The most ambitious Enterprise enterprise to date is a $13.5 million program to spruce up Norfolk's dreary waterfront.

Rouse estimates that the development will attract up to 6 million visitors in its first year. The foundation will concentrate, as a commercial company cannot, on what Rouse...
...most important part of Reagan's program, however, is the crackdown on illegal aliens. The Administration wants to increase the INS budget by $150 million, partly to provide more agents to patrol the Mexican-American border. Reagan also proposes to fine businesses that employ four or more people up to $1,000 for each illegal alien they hire. Although Reagan has rejected Attorney General Smith's proposal for a counterfeit-proof Social Security card, the Administration will recommend that an alien job seeker must produce two forms of identification for employers and must sign a form swearing that...
...much potential. Carpenter, though, simply wastes the possibilities. Manhattan, with its mounumental architecture on every block, has an abundance of magnificent locations for titanic, evil struggles. Why then did Carpenter choose to set Escape mostly in the anonymous alleys and burntout storefronts of other cities? And why does he employ location shots for a meaningless wrestling match (featuring a performer who bears an admirable resemblance to that titan of professional wrestling. George "The Animal" Steele). Escape could just as well take place in St. Louis...
