Many space experts fear the report will be ignored, as was an earlier study by a presidential commission led by onetime NASA Administrator Thomas Paine. The neglect, they say, is symptomatic of the nation's current rudderless approach to space exploration, which is ceding leadership to the Soviet Union. Declares Democratic Congressman George Brown Jr., of California, who serves on a House subcommittee on space science: "The fact is that the Administration is not ready to determine the future of the space program...
...along with those advantages come significant snags that many lenders neglect to advertise. The vast majority of home-equity loans are tied to fluctuations in the prime lending rate, now 8.25%, and can vary enormously in cost as that rate changes. If the prime were to gallop from 8% to 20.5%, as it did between 1978 and 1981, someone now paying 9.75% on a home-equity loan might suddenly have to pay 22.25%. Such a whopping increase is possible because many equity loans lack the so-called caps common to ordinary variable- rate mortgages, which limit interest-rate hikes...

Perhaps his only strategic error was to neglect the Iowa battleground for much of 1986. But Hart's Senate record wins Democratic applause, especially his consistent opposition to Reaganomics and his long advocacy of an oil-import fee. Hart's speeches have grown more evocative and thematic; technocratic details are now left to his position papers, which are voluminous enough to satisfy anyone's hunger for beef...
...Avery-Gold Productions, with help from local radio giant WBCN-FM, the Boston Phoenix, and even MTV--three organizations largely responsible for the promotion of many Boston acts and the neglect of many others-undertook this ambitious if quixotic effort to recognize virtually everyone in every facet of the Boston music scene, in a single evening's ceremony last week...
