...Visit one of the eleven regional branches of the National Archives (or its parent temple in Washington). This federal service has invaluable census records dating back to 1790, military and pension records from American wars beginning with the Revolutionary, passenger lists of immigrant ships, passport applications, naturalization records, land and bounty claims and much more. The Library of Congress (no branches) has a rich lode of 30,000 American and foreign genealogies. The D.A.R.'s Washington headquarters also has extensive records...
CHILD CARE provisions are broadened, allowing many more working parents to offset baby-sitting costs. Through last year, a parent or couple could deduct up to $4,800 a year in child-care expenses; now they get a maximum tax credit of $400 a child (limit: $800).

Midas President Ralph Weiger, 52, will not confirm that, but he does say dollar earnings in 1976 were five times...
...done considerable harm, she feels, by lumping housework and child care together and dismissing them as something that women must escape in order to achieve "selfhood." It has also deluded women about both the pleasures and the problems of commercial work and about the ease of being a responsible parent and pursuing a career at the same time. (A large part of all work done by men and women is boring and unsatisfying and, as men know well, leaves little enough time for a family or any other form of commitment or self-development.)
