...Long live free enterprise!" shouted some of the 300 giddy spectators, dozens of them investors in the project, who gathered on a Matagorda Island cow pasture to cheer the takeoff. "It was just a glorious feeling," said David Hannah Jr., founder and chairman of Space Services Inc. of America (SSI), the two-year-old company that financed (for $2.5 million) and flew the free-enterprise rocket. "We met the objective in picture-book style...

That system begins this week and will be run by the Social Security Administration, but paid for out of general revenues. The program is designed to replace and upgrade federal-state welfare payments for most needy aged, blind or disabled Americans who receive only minimal Social Security benefits, or none at all. More than 6,000,000 people are expected to be receiving SSI benefits this year. Though the program will not force...
