...flat guarantee of a certain base figure probably would have disincentive effects on low-income laborers. Those who had incomes close to the figure would almost certainly quit work (unless several hundred dollars and getting away from wife and family were worth a forty hour week). And because the choice of the base figures may be rather arbitrary, there are bound to be inequities. The problem of equity becomes more acute the closer the base figure comes to the actual amount necessary to maintain a standard of living that could be described as middle class. The position of the middle...
...citing the instance of bags of flour delivered by a misguided welfare agency to "a household that has no oven." Come now, biscuits can be baked anywhere there is a fire to cook with. I have made them: over an open fire wrapped around a green stick, on a flat rock under an old auto fender, on a piep an tilted in front of a fire, under an old dishpan on top of a range, on a piece of foil under a piece of corrugated-tin roof, and the product was eaten with relish by all at hand...

Once the process-which is unique in that it permits use of ordinary paper-was perfected, Wilson made a second daring decision. Rather than sell his machines outright, he determined to lease them for a flat rental, charge a small fee per copy. Thus the early Xerox 914s, which cost some $2,000 to make, could earn more than $4,000 in one year alone...
Saturday night Levin did his thing(s) before a full house at Sanders Theatre. The program, entiled "Works of W. A. Mozart," included the orchestral March in D, K. 335/1 (delightful in its naivete and ludicrous use of col legno), the Sonata for Violin and Piano in B flat, K. 454, and the magnificent Piano Concerto No. 25 in C, K. 503. Levin served as pianist and was joined at appropriate moments by violinist Rose Mary Harbison and an excellent pick-up orchestra conducted by John Harbison. By and large the performances were clean, tasteful and controlled, with occasional brilliance...
LEVIN has similar success with the Quintet Movement for Clarinet and Strings in B flat, K. 516c, where Mozart had left him even more to go on. Its presentation was unfortunately marred by poor intonation and general timidity on the part of the performers, principally the upper strings...
