...made of cork and seems similar to most any spot where well-heeled New Yorkers gather, except in one important respect. No money changes hands at the bar, nor anywhere else in the club. In fitting with the club's extreme gentility, all services must be charged and paid for later. Given the milieu, it comes as a surprise that the convivial Harvard Stand-Up Bar was the scene of a controversy splashed on the pages of The New York Times...
...status of former husbands improves, while that of former wives deteriorates." Only 2% of all divorced women with children receive more than $5,000 a year in support. Only 14% of divorce settlements include any alimony, and only 44% award child support-but less than half of either is paid regularly. Noting that working women earn on the average only 57% of men's wages, Tish Sommers says: "When you are a woman on your own, you are poor...
...negotiate under the guidelines is the Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers, with more than 60,000 members; their contracts expire Jan. 7.

He will be the last painter to be so lucky. Jimmy Carter has requested that in the future, all official portraits be color photographs...
...Assuming Bush substantially cuts the guaranteed benefits paid by the government each year to retirees (he has so far avoided actually saying he would do this), he can reduce the long-term cost of the program. And if the stock market continues its historical rate of return of 7 percent a year (or even if it gains a more modest 4 percent a year), such cuts would be painless because most beneficiaries would retire with more money than they would otherwise receive under the current system. Giving workers private accounts should also help boost the currently dismal national savings rate...
