...already precarious ecological balance. When the ice is broken and heat trapped in the water below is released, so the argument goes, the life cycles of various fish may be affected. Just this January an environmental group in New York State called Save the River helped derail a similar navigation study projected for the St. Lawrence Seaway. For Captain Hall, the irony of his role as a public servant helping to keep the furnaces of the domestic steel industry stoked is cheerfully clear. Says he sardonically: "After it got started, the free-enterprise system worked well for about five minutes...
...prove that they can hold the amount of money they spend, rather than take in, to an annual increase of no more than 9.7%, plus an adjustment that would take into account some inflation factors. (Studies show that hospital revenues and expenses climb and fall at similar rates but that expenditures are easier to track.) The failure of a hospital covered by the program to meet this goal would trigger a penalizing mechanism so convoluted that administrators claim it would be a bureaucratic nightmare-and they have a point. Basically, the formula would restrict the amount of money that...
...that thorough searches are often necessary in order to find weapons, drugs or dangerous objects a suspect may be hiding. But those who have gone through the experience for such things as traffic violations strongly disagree.

Government experts and gas company executives expect increases of 18% to 25% this year in Chicago, New York City, Memphis, Louisville and elsewhere. A similar rise is expected even in gas-rich Oklahoma over the next few months. The Department of Energy expects that the higher prices will cost U.S. consumers $1.7 billion to $2 billion...
...ambitious studies and surveys, some of them amounting to market research, has occurred in the past few years. The University of Michigan Institute for Social Research conducted a nationwide study of income and education as determinants of happiness. The advertising firm Batten, Barton, Durstine and Osborn carried out a similar but broader survey to find out whether their clients' potential consumers "were happier ... than other segments of the population." Scientific studies of worker "contentment" have been going on for years, to be sure, but are not quite the same as the new wave of investigations into the larger character...
