...half decades ago, his then employer, Occidental Petroleum Corp., cut its traditional defined pension plan in favor of a 401(k)-type system. So instead of getting a guaranteed pension check of $1,308 a month for his 36 years as a full-time, salaried employee, the former chemical-factory worker receives $225 a month from his 13 years as an hourly employee, plus $180.16 a month from a profit-sharing plan Oxy had for salaried employees until 1994. He also has $70,000 left of the money he saved from his tax-deferred 401(k). On the days...

The resolution is an overlooked part of what has allowed Obama to make tentative progress in trying to curtail Iran's nuclear program and is, the Administration says, its best hope for doing the same with North Korea...
...detractors point out that sleeping with minors is indeed a crime - and that if, as Mitterrand's book suggests, that is what he did, he should step down. But Mitterrand has always maintained his novel was intended as a kind of full disclosure of things he'd seen and experienced. While the portion of the book dealing with prostitution might worry some readers - "I got into the habit of paying for boys," he writes - Mitterrand argues that his use of the word boy referred to younger men rather than minors. Many older gay men use the expression in that...
