...whenever he or she thought the new one would be more profitable. In the real world, people hold on to investments they would otherwise trade in order to avoid paying the tax. That makes the economy less efficient. A tax break for capital gains would reduce this so-called lock-in effect. (Although, please note, this is exactly the opposite of one argument usually heard for a capital-gains break -- that we need to encourage long-term investment.) What would reduce the lock-in effect even more, however -- without adding to the favorable treatment capital gains already enjoy -- would...
...favorite word, prudent. After all, what if Gorbachev is indeed merely pursuing by more subtle means the old Soviet goals of getting the U.S. to withdraw from Europe, dissolving NATO and neutralizing Germany? Even so, as Baker points out, it would still make sense for the U.S. to "lock in" gains by helping Soviet bloc nations become more independent and by securing agreements that make mutually beneficial arms reductions. In addition, the changes in Eastern Europe have progressed so far that a sudden reversal becomes less likely every day. In the worst-case scenario, a hard-liner -- even Gorbachev -- could...

This frightening episode, and two reported incidents of sexual molestation of freshman women, led to increased demands from students and staff members for better security measures around the University. Yet the adminstration only replaced the student guards at the Science Center with armed, professional ones. Harvard refused to lock three of the building's four doors after business hours or limit access to the upper floors before 5 p.m. because such measures would be inconvenient for some faculty members. The administration also refused to increase the number of street lights in the Yard, even after six assaults of students near...
