When the Democrats returned to power with President John Kennedy in 1960, higher spending for HEW was on the agenda. Regulations were eased, and the cost of aid to families with dependent children ?the biggest welfare program?began to soar. When Johnson became President, HEW was transformed by the biggest growth of federal programs in the history of the nation...
...abuses that are rendering Swedish companies uncompetitive on the world market, yet, despite the advent of a more conservative government, Sweden remains fully committed to the welfare state. Unable to lay off surplus workers or curb ruinous absenteeism (sometimes as high as 20%), Volvo saw its operating costs soar. Once noted for well-built, moderately priced autos, Volvo was forced to increase its prices until its top-of-the-line 264GL, at $10,500, is nearly as expensive as a Cadillac Coupe De Ville. Volvo sales have slumped globally, and last year profits fell 40%, to $79 million...
...water bordered on both sides by high-rise towers of volcanic rock and sheer sandstone cliffs, and inhabited by the densest nesting population of raptors, or birds of prey, anywhere in the world. Golden eagles perch on inaccessible crags; prairie and peregrine falcons launch themselves from cliff faces and soar into the high, crystalline desert sky. Eleven other species of raptor, from the diminutive robin-size kestrel, or sparrow hawk, to the stocky great horned owl, make their homes and raise their offspring in the canyon...
...month that holiday travel starts to soar, and this year vacationers will be offered a bagful of bargains in air fares−thanks in large part to an unlikely bureaucrat named Alfred Kahn. A lean, balding, hatchet-faced man who teeters back and forth in his high-backed leather chair, Kahn, 60, looks like a restless hawk. The image is apt. In less than a year as chairman of the Civil Aeronautics Board, he has outdone any of his predecessors in shooing the airlines out of the cozy hen house of Government supervision that has protected and confined them...
Somehow, I have not heard student leaders explaining the fact that total divestiture means less income to run the University as prices continue to soar and that, therefore, the deficit must be made up if Harvard is to continue to deliver the kind of education for which students have competed so hard to obtain. Even the divestiture process itself would cost a great deal of money. Without for a moment agreeing wholeheartedly with the Corporation's decision of April 27, I have to ask whether students have thought about what total divestiture might actually mean. In brief, it might increase...
