...budgets, even though most contracts do not expire until June 30. This moderate union might actually be helped by the 7% guideline since, in an atmosphere of fiscal conservatism and budget cuts, it is unlikely to have got much more. Now, it will have an argument against settling for less...
...most nations. Instead, its motives appear to be pride and politics. A rising stock price confers more prestige on corporate managers than one that is just high.

Good meals, ça va sans dire, should not be corseted by classic formulas or restricted to scarce foodstuff.

...surplus almost in half, by about $1 trillion. And not using that money for debt reduction adds an additional $300 billion to the government's interest bill. These costs (along with his $1.6 trillion tax cut) mean it will take longer for Bush to eliminate the national debt, leaving less money in the future to guarantee Social Security's solvency...
