...vacation" program, putting some restrictions on overtime and banning millowners from contracting out work, such as construction, that could be performed in house by Steelworkers' members. The aim: more workers will be needed to turn out any given tonnage of steel, so fewer layoffs will be necessary, and mill bosses can guarantee employment to workers who have reached a certain seniority (20 years' service, the union has hinted). Bredhoff speculates that a lifetime-security plan could be funded by an industry-wide pool, providing paychecks even for workers whose employer goes out of business...

As evolution created the process of sexual reproduction, whose reassortment of genes provides a vastly increased supply of genetic diversity for the mill of natural selection, it also developed species: groups of organisms that reproduce only by mating with other members of the same group, and not with members of other species. The evolutionary function of these fertility barriers is clear: diversity is necessary for evolution, but since a successful organism must have a reasonably balanced set of genes the diversity resulting from unlimited combinations from the pool of genetic material in the living world would...
