Surround that with--yes, it's true--pickle relish, yellow mustard, a few chopped raw onions, a slice of tomato, a deli-style pickle and some nice burning jalapeno peppers, and you've got your dog. Chicago Frank's offers the dog for only $2.25, and if you use the $1 off coupons being distributed, that works out to the same price as five pinball games (for those of you figuring out opportunity costs). Also included are a handful of fries, hand-cut on the premises with the skin still on the ends, that make a mockery of the frozen...
...join him in early budget talks. Bush's designated budget director, Richard Darman, has discussed with Republican leaders the idea of dividing the budget into five to 20 categories, such as "national security" and "health care," and putting an overall spending limit on each. Added together, the reductions would slice the deficit to $100 billion. It would be up to Congress to fill in the blanks by deciding which programs in each category would have to be slashed to meet the overall target...
This is the most impressive of the cutbacks, since it includes roughly half the Soviet tanks based in the three satellite nations (Poland, conspicuously, was not mentioned). "No matter how you slice it, Gorbachev can't make these tank cuts in these areas without seriously affecting their offensive capability," said Anthony Cordesman, a Washington-based military analyst. While the Soviets and their Warsaw Pact allies still would have some 41,500 battle tanks between the Ural Mountains and the forward NATO positions, their advantage would be reduced from a 2.3-to-1 to a 1.9-to-1 ratio. That...
Produced by the team responsible for The Cosby Show, Roseanne presents the flip side of the impossibly perfect Huxtables. Yet the two shows have some key similarities: both were inspired by the monologues of a stand-up comic, and both depend on loosely structured, slice-of-life episodes rather than sitcom contrivances. A typical Roseanne segment might revolve around something as prosaic as a visit to a restaurant or a discussion of how to pay the bills. (Roseanne's strategy: "You pay the ones marked final notice, and you throw the rest away.") Best of all, behind the put-downs...
Massachusetts, another high-premium state, is trying to give drivers a break. A week before the vote in California, Massachusetts legislators approved a reform bill that will slice 16% off the state's tightly controlled auto rates in 1989. Aimed at easing a 27% jump in premiums over the past two years, the measure includes several cost-saving features to placate insurers. Yet such provisions could not halt a continuing exodus that has seen six major firms abandon the state since 1986. Allstate joined their ranks last week, when the Sears subsidiary said it would stop selling policies in Massachusetts...
