...Your article on "Employment" el Aug. 4 performed a valuable service in revealing the dramatic growth of the temporary-help industry in recent years. However, the article did not present an accurate picture of the leader, Manpower Inc., whose volume for more than 19 years has consistently remained at twice the level of its nearest competitors. The gross revenue figure of $61 million that you reported for Manpower did not include the total sales of our franchise offices and therefore did not give a true picture of the size of our company.

In fact, the arms trade with underdeveloped countries amounts to only 10% of the nation's sales of weapons...
...cent figure to six or eight per cent before voting on it; even at 10 per cent it is no panacea: the tax hike will not eliminate the deficit, it will just reduce it. Nor will it stop inflation; the surtax will be a brake to help slow the economy down. Fiscal policy, such as the tax hike, is effective only when employed at the first signs of an economic trend, not six months later. The signs are clear...
