...members have listened while Dean Rosovsky's special assistant reads the annual affirmative action report. And every year they have heard the same problem: the University is recruiting women and minorities at a respectable rate at the non-tenured level, but in the tenured ranks, women and minorities are still inadequately represented...
Small-scale capitalism still has its contradictions for this social worker-cum-entrepreneur and his Berkeley graduate son. His face animated, Sid says he feels "caught between what I want in life and what I need, and what I want to do for others.

They even propose that this consumption tax--the VAT--partially replaces the corporate profits tax to free still more money for investment. Evidently, Long and Ullman have overlooked the startling expansion of corporate profits in the past two years. In the name of productivity, they have opted for financing a rich man's corporate tax credit with the dollars of middle class American consumers...
