...Oregon's Eugene Register-Guard (circ. 65,200) and North Carolina's Fayetteville Times and Observer (combined circ. 66,900) serve sizable communities away from big cities. They are matched in quality by suburban competitors of papers on TIME's ten best list: the Quincy Patriot Ledger (circ. 89,300) south of Boston, the Bergen County Record (circ. 149,200) in northern New Jersey, the Los Angeles Daily News (circ. 132,900) in the San Fernando Valley. Some of these medium-size dailies, such as North Carolina's Raleigh News and Observer (circ. 129,600), Alaska...
...Endowment for Divestiture does not scare Harvard because it diverts money from the University--E4D received only about seven or eight grand last year, chickenfeed in a Harvard ledger. The problem is that Harvard sees E4D as threatening the whole socialization process by which Harvard ties alumni into specific class years, each with the specific task of raising as much money as possible.

That was the first year E4D got off the ground, and Harvard can only...
...supply-side doctrine, joined the Administration in 1982. He was brought on board to re-establish credibility after the Administration's early predictions of supply-side prosperity and balanced budgets went wildly wrong.

Along with his Administration ally, Budget Director David Stockman, Feldstein urged the President to include a tax hike...
Nobody ever wanted to be a writer more than John Steinbeck; as a student he would take to the woods with pen, ink bottle, and the ledger books borrowed from his father-treasurer of Monterey County-to scribble his first short stories. With a stubbornness that bordered on menace, the "red-faced, blue-eyed giant," as a contemporary described him, toughed out the lean years. He worked as a hand on sugar-beet ranches and wheeled 100-lb. barrows of concrete as a construction worker at Madison Square Garden during a stay in New York City. The publisher...
...education reforms were obscured by a flurry of lurid charges: two weeks before the election, Bramlett supporters trotted out a pair of young black men, both transvestites, who claimed to have been paid 20 times by Allain for sexual services. A polygraph test commissioned by the Jackson Clarion-Ledger buttressed the hustlers' allegations. Allain, 55 and divorced, called the charges "damnable, vicious, malicious lies." He added, "I'm no sexual deviate, and Leon Bramlett knows...
