...Bedford's spontaneous protest was fresh evidence of the depth of Americans' anger at taxes-and a sign of how far normally peaceable citizens are willing to go to make their feelings known. On Election Day, Nov. 7, voters across the country will have an opportunity to take matters into their own hands-not by storming government buildings but by voting on tax referendums in 16 states. In Massachusetts, for example, the voters will have their say on Question 1, which would give the state legislature authority to create a classification system for property taxes. It would limit...
...finds that it can recruit what it regards as high-quality females for about the same price as low-quality males. While it costs the Army about $3,700, the Marines $2,050, the Navy $1,950 and the Air Force $870 in advertising and other expenses to sign up a male secondary-school graduate who scores high on aptitude tests, the cost to all four services for an equally qualified woman is only $150.

"You guys deserve a lot more than you've been getting," he said, and Wilkinson's face brightened briefly...
...someone even a banker has heard of. Thus, when you want to cast a black version of The Wizard of Oz, you do not hold an audition for beautiful teen-age black girls who can sing like crazy, though the possibilities of such an audition stagger the imagination. You sign up Diana Ross, who is beautiful, sings Like crazy, and is known to bankers from a career dating back to the early '60s, when she was the lead singer of the Supremes. Ross is 34, so the script calls for a Dorothy who is 24 and a shy schoolteacher...
