SOCIAL SERVICES: The G.O.P. opposes a compulsory national health insurance program, but supports extending private insurance to cover all Americans for catastrophic illness. The party also opposes a guaranteed annual income. The Democrats favor a federally financed, comprehensive national health insurance program, and a plan for minimum-income guarantees for the poor and aged...
Alternatively, Kennecott can declare a stock dividend of its Peabody holdings and so set up the coal company as an independent entity once again. Kennecott shareholders seem to favor such a spin-off scheme and may sue if it does not come about; their expectation is that the Kennecott and Peabody shares they would have as a result of a spin-off might fare better in the stock market than Kennecott alone.

Meantime, the priests of Amen continued to frighten the people expertly...
SCHOOL FINANCING. The biggest problem in the American public school system is an ancient school-financing program that depends upon property taxes. The difference between one district's tax evaluation per pupil and another's causes an enormous amount of inequity. I would favor equalizing property taxes with state appropriations, usually coming from sales or income taxes, as Texas, California and New Jersey, for example, are finally starting...
