...found that after divorce "the economic status of former husbands improves, while that of former wives deteriorates." Only 2% of all divorced women with children receive more than $5,000 a year in support. Only 14% of divorce settlements include any alimony, and only 44% award child support-but less than half of either is paid regularly. Noting that working women earn on the average only 57% of men's wages, Tish Sommers says: "When you are a woman on your own, you are poor...
...broad, globe-girdling belt as far north as Newfoundland and as far south as the tip of South America. About 75% of that area is water, and much of the land is sparsely inhabited. Thus the danger is slight; NASA believes that "the probability of injury or damage is less than that from meteorites." Astronomer Brian Marsden of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory concurred, saying that there was really "nothing to worry about...
...reentry. Confronted by a falling Skylab, NASA last spring began developing the $26 million booster engine.

The biggest thrill is that...
...known whether Teamster President Frank Fitzsimmons is tied to any of these allegations, he must negotiate in the knowledge that federal officials are pondering just how zealously to prosecute criminal charges of malfeasance. On the other hand, Fitzsimmons is on record as saying that he will not accept anything less than the contract (nearly 40% over three years) that the coal miners won last winter, a settlement that Administration officials, who have shown little facility for handling labor disputes, forced down mine owners' throats. Moreover, a large militant group within the Teamster leadership is ready to scream...
