...most fervent foes of reform are the postal workers' unions, which are among the most powerful lobbyists in Washington. Five hundred thousand strong, the postal workers represent a massive voting bloc.

Each was given as many weeks as he had pounds to lose. If he makes his specified weight by that deadline, he is paid 1½ of his annual salary; the bonus will be renewed every year for as long...
Perhaps ten years is not long enough to tell for sure what the ultimate effects would be on the University's finances. What about the "needs of the 'longer long term?" In fact, with real expenses rising linearly and the investments rising exponentially, Harvard cannot lose over time by allowing the endowment to shoulder more of the burden which student fees now carry...
