...basic wage for any given [job] will be the same for any employee . . . without regard to whether he is a citizen of the U.S. or of the Republic of Panama."

When the change went into effect, Panamanian day laborers and artisans were led by politicians to think that they were going to be paid New York-level wages; when they were...
...columns. Nevertheless, that was what Hess got from three of the columnists. Said Considine, who wrote about the store's stock of exotic foods: "Made a nice little feature."

...expects to gross $3,000,000 annually by offering customers 2,000 items at prices 15% below small stores. One big gainer from the new supermarkets: the Italian government, which levies a 26.85% annual tax on supermarket income v. only 14% charged smaller dealers.
