...children's support. "My blood was boiling," says her lawyer, Michael Pepe Jr., who appealed the case. The Pennsylvania superior court agreed with him that housekeeping has economic value: Wasiolek, who looks forward to the day she can return to her nursing career, was already providing her share of support by staying home and caring for her children. It was a hollow victory for her, since her former husband is now unemployed, and paying less child support, and she is still on welfare. But her landmark case established for the women of Pennsylvania that equality does not mean women...
...early 1960s the U.S. spent up to .5% of its gross national product on foreign aid but today allocates only .27%. Sweden gives 1.01% of its G.N.P., and Denmark donates .6%. Thirteen nations, including France, Canada, Belgium, Britain, West Germany and Austria give a larger share than the U.S. Says Gilligan: "Last year the people of the U.S. lost more money at the gambling tables in Nevada than we have in our development assistance programs.

The company had sales of $43 billion last year, and so far this year has man aged to hold its share of the market for U.S. makes, about 27%, vs. 60% for GM. Ford's compact Fairmont is moving well, but sales of its subcompact Pinto are down because of publicity over faulty gas tanks on earlier models, which sometimes exploded when hit from the rear. The much publicized ousting of Iacocca as Ford's president and the threatened...
Southies has had its share of bad times, especially recently, and it would be a lie to call the neighborhood thriving. By the high school you can still see the word "press" painted on the concrete in white paint, marking off the boundaries behind which cameramen and reporters strained to watch the buses roll in and out. The streets aren't spotless, the houses aren't beautiful, and many buildings are boarded up. But for a week every March, when things would normally be at their grayest and grittiest, Southie changes her clothes. And with the green of the leprechauns...
