...consumer purchasing power, especially for low-and middle-income workers, who often pay more in Social Security than in income taxes. But even that is not all. In theory, employers pay Social Security taxes equal to those levied on their workers. In practice, the public pays the employers' share too, because companies raise prices to pass along the boost. This year's increase may add half a point to the U.S. inflation rate; the bigger rise in 1981 will push prices up much more. Some bosses may also choose to hire fewer workers because the tax raises...
...would be unfair to expect any musician to maintain the hot-and-bothered pace of Costello's first two albums, and Armed Forces does have its share of rockers--"Goon Squad" and "Accidents Will Happen" in particular carry on the tradition. But all over the new album there are signs of his evolution towards more versatile music-making. He's always had a touch of the middle-of-the-road about him--he recorded a Burt Bacharach number on a live anthology last year.

...their varied experiences with inflation, Americans everywhere share a deepening sense of being threatened.

James brings home an army friend, Captain Hammond (David Kernan), and Lady Marjorie and the visitor learn, over the inevitable tea in the morning room, that they share a love of opera. Richard Bellamy (David Langton), always preoccupied with the House of Commons, gratefully asks their guest to take his place and escort his wife to Tristan und Isolde at Covent Garden. Naturally they fall in love over a Liebestrank, and soon the magnificent Lady Marjorie (Rachel Gurney...
...stuck with palpable volumes of the moment, is happiest when proclaiming how posterity will treat a work. The food critic verily feeds on the unreliable assumption that a future meal, whether in a restaurant or out of a recipe, will be as palatable as the past one. Political writers share such a weakness for looking ahead that they often settle the forthcoming presidential election well before they have understood the last. Moreover, those who are both writers and political creatures often prophesy with a purpose. Thus, anti-Carter Columnist William Safire last week ventured, in living choler, the following...
