...financial lure is actually stronger for the 1400 workers who may earn anywhere from $5.00 to $30.00 per hour, than for the managers, some of whom say the yearly pay is low compared to the number of hours they wind up spending on their work. "HSA's great from the viewpoint of the laborer," a former manager notes...
...first year at a one-day price of $15. Disney strategy is to persuade guests to tarry at both Magic Kingdom (13.2 million admissions in 1981) and Epcot at a bargain four-day adult rate of $45 for the two, thus lengthening their stays. Epcot is designed to lure the 25-to-34 age group, the dominant force in the economy but one that has not responded strongly to previous Disney-style fantasy. While 75% of Florida visitors today do not attend Disney World, 80% of this group say that they would be attracted to a center like Epcot. Thus...
...soft-focus lens; the '50s are jangly cowboy songs and cruel chiaroscuro. Propelled by her screenwriter husband (who fades out of his own picture), her producer (who finds younger actresses for his casting couch), her neurologist (who ladles out morphine) and a curious reporter (who cannot escape the lure of decadence), Veronika travels down Sunset Boulevard to a dead end.

The blow-dry, though, is strictly do-it-yourself. Savone provides the equipment, but the client does the work. "Shops and real estate businesses have been closing in Beverly Hills, and our clients could no longer afford our regular prices," says Savone...
...lure of the legit is strong enough to have attracted star actors who might otherwise be making much more money in Hollywood movies. Tommy Lee Jones and Tuesday Weld tap the dignity of N. Richard Nash's prairie romance, The Rainmaker (next month on HBO). Faye Dunaway and Dick Van Dyke made for a moving odd couple in The Country Girl (Showtime). And Malcolm McDowell captured the fury, if not the poetry, of angry young Jimmy Porter in Look Back in Anger (Showtime...
