...showed a hefty overdraft. "It represents," Wilson quipped wanly, "a sort of balance-of-payments crisis." Dubious Britons noted that he has just sold his memoirs to the Sunday Times for such poundage that even Timesman reportedly were afraid to admit the price. Insiders guess Wilson's fee is between $576,000 and $624,000-enough to turn all his red ink black...
...grounds across the U.S. have been growing increasingly effete, but some sort of new mark is set by Campland, just off the heavily traveled San Diego Freeway. Essentially, Campland is a 42-acre parking lot that can accommodate 800 assorted trailers, mobile homes and just plain tents.

In Philadelphia, for instance, the loss of the archdiocese's $19 million in aid under the state program will force the price of a year's tuition at parochial high schools close to $400, up from $130; in Brooklyn, the fee is already...
...price hike from 100 to 150 last fall to introduce Op-Ed, thereby giving readers a small bonus for their nickel. While Oakes has overall command, operating responsibility for the page rests with Harrison Salisbury. Last July, Salisbury started soliciting contributions for the page, offering a modest $150 fee. He leaned on big names at the start to attract attention, but consistently stressed "the interest and importance of an idea" regardless of an author's fame...
