Others see Grand Boulevard as en forcing a destructive life-style on its residents, if the word life-style can be applied to living with few jobs, a poor education, little money or food, no network of family or social support, no cultural emphasis on child rearing, and a resulting world view that is abjectly fatalistic...
Electronic matchmaking services have long enabled love-starved clients to choose dates by watching videotapes of potential companions. Now the Corporate Interviewing Network, a company based in Fort Lauderdale, is giving employers a chance to use a similar technique to screen job applicants. Firms using the service send CIN a list of job candidates. Then CIN arranges to videotape interviews with them at 19 regional offices from New York City to Los Angeles, using questions drafted by the employers. Within seven days after talking with the last candidate, CIN sends the employer a tape of the applicants...

Some American experts believe that the offense-defense trade-off would be a good deal: if the U.S. were less threatened by Soviet offenses, it would have less need for a massive network of orbiting battle stations to shield it from an attack. Many scientists question whether SDI will work, and the research necessary to find out is dauntingly expensive. The Administration wants $26 billion over the next five years, and deployment might cost a cool trillion or more. Especially in an era of deficit reduction and Pentagon cost cutting, there is growing resistance in Congress to funding SDI. Says...
