...taken from the petty-cash drawer. The employer gets the advantage of cheap labor; the workers draw both clandestine wages and jobless benefits. Harold Kasper, who directs New York State's unemployment insurance program, ran into one such case by sheer accident: while munching a corned beef on rye at an Albany delicatessen, he overheard a waitress complaining to a friend that another waitress was being paid off the books.

Still, just like you don't have to be Jewish to love Levi's rye bread, you don't have to agree with Glazer and Moynihan to find their collection of essays useful. The topics range from ethnic political force to the transmission of cultural heritage, the approaches run from anthropological to straight political analysis, and the regions studied include Uganda, Southeast Asia, Russia, Canada (Canada?) and India...

Despite the frantic efforts, the Soviet harvest is expected to fall at least 25 to 30 million tons short of this year's goal of 215 million tons-forcing the U.S.S.R. into foreign purchases that are jarring world markets...
...spacemen will also dine together. The Apollo crewmen will treat Leonov to a meal of potato soup, beefsteak, rye bread and cheese, strawberries and tea with lemon. Most of the American food is dehydrated and requires the addition of water; the Russians prefer space food that is already in paste form. Brand will get a chance to test ins skills on a Soviet chest-exercising device. On Friday, Stafford and Leonov are scheduled to hold a joint press conference, fielding reporters' questions from Houston and Moscow...
