...enables the bank to be extremely precise in its own actions. Says Schreiber: "Even after we submit written bids, we usually adjust them by a few cents via Telex right down to the deadline." At the U.S. Treasury auction last month, Dresdner's bid came in just high enough to win, and a Swiss competitor's offer failed by only 20? per oz. One clear moral: private investors who hope to benefit from the bullion boom will have a hard time matching wits against the professionals...
Even so, the IRS seems reluctant to take strong action against the cheating. Americans are already complaining enough about the heavy burden of Government bureaucracy. Said one Treasury official: "There is no way you can win on this subject. It always looks like we are going after the baby-sitters to make them pay taxes." However, the IRS is trying to figure out ways of subjecting tips received by waiters and waitresses to withholding (they are supposed to be voluntarily reported).

Not only did he lead the National League in wins last week (18-9), but he had helped mightily to keep the surprising Houston Astros neck and neck with the powerful Cincinnati Reds in the National League West. Fittingly, Joe Niekro's closest competitor for victories in the league is Big Brother Phil, 40, who has won 17 and lost 18 for the last-place Atlanta Braves. (He has accounted...
Finally, the Pioneer scientists shamefacedly confessed that they had found in their recordings some Titan temperature data that were partially garbled - not because of satellite signals but because of interference from solar storms and communications problems between a tracking antenna in Spam and the Ames control center. Still, enough information was retrieved to confirm that the temperature at Titan's cloud tops was a frigid -200° C (-328° F). That seemed to rule out surface temperatures warm enough to allow the formation of amino acids, the building blocks of life. But scientists were withholding final judgment until...
With all of that, there is doubtless enough praise left over for Barrie himself, who delivered Peter Pan 75 years ago. His little tale for children is as thin as a spider web, but it has proved to be just as strong. -Gerald Clarke
