Moore centered Jamie Lundmark and Dan LaCouture on the team’s fourth line, and also saw time on the power play, the Times report said...
...full! Fourth grade teachers invent the best traditions: Give a valentine to everybody if you're going to give one to anyone at all. I'd stayed up until 11 the night before finishing my hand-made valentines, thinking of just the right thing to put on Rolf Lundmark's pink, red and white heart. Mushy stuff probably wouldn't work. But I had to think of something special...
Under the Swedish system, workers with average incomes get the most value from their tax kronor. A typical example is Paul Lundmark, who is married and the father of three children, ages 4 to 10. He lives in Orebro, a city of 275,000. Lundmark earns an average blue-collar salary of $6,500 a year by working in a paper mill.

Loopholes are almost nonexistent, and deductions are rare. Corporate income taxes, which average 53%, are less severe because, unlike individuals, companies can deduct from their national tax the amount they pay in local taxes. Even so, Sweden's leading business magazine, Veckans...
