...players in the league who are still holding out for more money, called for an end to all the haggling. "I'm convinced," said Rozelle, "that the football fan-the sports fan-is disenchanted with the business aspects of the game, the lawsuits, contracts, franchise problems, stadium financing, pension plans." Right on, Pete...
...Jerusalem this week, a veteran Israeli diplomat named Tuvia Arazi will go on pension and the Political-Economic Planning Division that he directed will be shut down. "We're superfluous," says Arazi, 58, a onetime underground fighter and Ambassador to Cyprus. But he says it with a smile. The Political-Economic Planning Division is actually Israel's antiboycott office, set up eleven years ago to thwart the efforts of 18 Arab countries to choke Israel economically.

That fact was quickly illustrated. Aside from a few perfunctory meetings with Rocky and the legislative leaders, Lindsay was shut out of negotiations on his own budget. While Lindsay fumed, Republicans and Democrats hammered out a budget, in the process shelving a new pension plan that the city had worked out with municipal unions. It is one of the most generous pensions ever offered to U.S. workers. Upon reaching 55, a retired worker could collect half pay after 20 years on the job and full pay after 40 years. Since pensions already devour 11? of every dollar paid in state...
