...only $150. By 1982, the Pentagon estimates, the recruitment of more women will enable it to maintain its standards of quality and still save about $1 billion annually. The long-term economies could amount to even more because a higher proportion of military women are unmarried and thus require less than men do in medical benefits, housing allowances and other services. Observes Colorado Democrat Patricia Schroeder, a member of the House Armed Services Committee: "Women may yet save the Army...
Pessimism suddenly turned to optimism in Washington. On Sunday morning, less than one week after Israeli and Egyptian negotiators had begun work at Blair House on a peace treaty between the two states that would carry out the Camp David accords. State Department Spokesman George Sherman announced that they had basically achieved their goal. "Principle issues have been resolved" said Sherman. A draft of the treaty, consisting of nine articles and a preamble, had been sent to Jerusalem and Cairo for study and approval. Negotiating work would continue this week on three annexes dealing with such issues as the exact...
With the Classes of '80 and '81 both living in the Houses this year, it seems likely that they may provide enough votes for at least a few Houses to nominate representatives to the CRR.

Women, of course, fall all over him, and he's married two (at least).

Working, begging, taking bribes, stealing--they blur together in Brecht's world. "What's robbing a bank compared...

In fact, in the 1977 Americans for Democratic Action rating, he barely squeaked by Tower as the less conservative (20 per cent to 15 per cent). Krueger voted for food-stamp cutbacks, relaxation of urban air pollution standards, construction of the B-1 bomber, agribusiness subsidies: and the list goes on and on. Krueger cast a few token votes for labor, and has a fairly good record on civil-rights issues. For instance, he supported an extension of the ERA ratification deadline. But on economic issues, Krueger is all Republican...
