Highest and Lowest. Americans are undoubtedly the world's highest-paid people, though Europeans and Japanese collect far flossier fringe benefits. Still, a $7,000-a-year bank teller hardly feels happy about the fact that he may be earning 25% more than his Continental counterpart. The human tendency is to gauge compensation not by one's needs but by the relative pay of peers-countrymen, colleagues and neighbors.

EVERY INCH of wall space is covered with light shows of various kinds indifferent themes, with pictures ranging from ten foot high shots of Janis Joplin's singing face to Egyptian hieroglyphics.
