Most of the punitive regulation was written in the days when the railroads were bad and fat, and was deliberately designed to pare them down to size.

Kennedy's key proposals: FREIGHT RATES. The ICC could no longer set minimum rates, only maximum rates. At present, the commission firmly fixes...
France's De Gaulle sent a delegation headed by his trusted Algerian Affairs Minister, Louis Joxe. The F.L.N. delegation was headed by Vice Premier Belkacem Krim, a former French army noncom.

Restaurant owners continue to pare employees' pay to the bone; even at Manhattan's high-priced "21," waiters' salaries are about $42 a week, while perhaps two or three times that amount comes from tips...
