...most talked about subject in Washington last week was not the Bush transition, the budget deficit or the woes of Mayor Marion Barry, but one that is close to the heart of every bureaucrat -- and every American: pay raises. A salary-review board has proposed hefty pay hikes for 3,000 top Government officials, including Cabinet officers, federal judges and the 535 members of the House and Senate.

Though unsettling, these studies are far from conclusive. They contradict about 30 previous surveys, nearly all of which indicated that the Pill is safe.
