...extra cash is needed. The Senator makes only his regular salary of $44,600, plus some money for speaking appearances (his normal fee: $1,000). Like many other liberal politicians in Washington, Mondale sends his children to private schools. In Mondale's case, all of the schools are integrated. Son Teddy, 18, is an avid dirt-track motorcycle racer. Eleanor, 16, owns a palomino quarter horse named Sunny, and together they have won an impressive array of ribbons at horse shows. William, 14, is into football, tennis, wrestling and lacrosse...

At a press conference later, he pounded his fist on the table and insisted he would remain at the post "at the executive director's salary." Board members deny Wilkins' accusations...
...scale proof that inoculation was effective. As the treatment gained adherents, it became almost a fad. Fashionable ladies in Paris wore bonnets with spotted ribbons (to simulate the pox). Empress Catherine of Russia summoned an English doctor to inoculate her and her courtiers (for which she paid him a fee of ?10,000 plus ?2,000 for expenses, an annuity of ?500 for life, and a barony in the Russian empire).
