Harvard-Smithsonian's proposed six-telescope array would measure submillimeter wavelengths, light waves shorter than radiowaves and longer than infrared. The Center, a joint venture of the Harvard College Observatory and the Smithsonian Astrophysics Observatory, is deciding whether to place its telescopes at Mt. Graham or at the 13,000-foot Mauna Kea in Hawaii, says Irwin I. Shapiro, director of the Center and Paine professor of practical astronomy...
...says the barter proposal should not be interpreted as meaning Harvard-Smithsonian prefers the Mt. Graham site over the one in Hawaii. "Sometimes it is easy to help your neighbor.

With those considerations factored in, both middle-income and wealthy earners are supposed to wind up paying the same marginal rate of 28% on their earnings over...

They would tax all income over $200,000 at the 33% rate and levy an additional 10% surcharge on income over $1,000,000. Though such hikes would apply to only about 740,000 taxpayers, the congressional joint tax committee reckons the change would bring in $4.2 billion in additional revenue in the current fiscal year and $44.3 billion by 1995. It also has the political appeal of imposing a higher rate on the rich than on the less affluent...
