Full Ride. To economize, presidents are pushing for cutbacks in the number of coaches and scholarships. Tulane, for example, now gives out 101 athletic scholarships, at $5,530 each, which have added up to a whopping $558,530 this year. Many presidents are also in favor of cutting back on the amount of scholarships. They advocate "need-based scholarships"-in which aid would be based on the student's financial need, as it is in the Ivy League-instead of the current "full-ride," all-costs-paid scholarships...

...mother waits for that encounter. But the trip to the distant camps is lengthy and costly. And what about the children? Somebody has to take care of them while their mother is away, and she is lucky if she still has some true friends left to do her the favor: the KGB does its best to frighten them away.

...wants to offer companies a choice: they could reduce their income taxes by an amount equal to 4% of the Social Security taxes they pay on each worker, or to 12% of the money they spend on new plant and equipment. Many Congressmen want to scrap both alternatives in favor of a plan that would tie tax cuts directly to the number of workers added to payrolls. Ullman's idea: let an employer subtract from-his income tax 25% of the wages-up to $4,200 a year-paid to a worker newly hired or recalled from layoff...
