...jobs being created in the U.S. hold little appeal for former assembly-line workers. According to the Government, the U.S. added 1.6 million restaurant and tavern jobs between 1973 and 1980, more than the current total in the steel (327,000) and auto (666,000) industries. During the 1980s, more new secretaries (700,000), nurse's aides and orderlies (508,000), janitors (501,000) and salesclerks (479,000) are expected to be hired than workers in any other job categories...

...Jersey is the latest state to return to 21. Governor Thomas Kean will sign the bill this week that was passed by the legislature over the bitter complaints of college students and tavern owners. Insisted New Jersey Assemblyman Martin Herman: "At this holiday time, there is no more important gift we can give than the gift of life." In Massachusetts, the American Automobile Association filed legislation to nudge the drinking age from 20 to 21. "Too often kids learn to drink and drive at the same time," said AAA Spokeswoman Kathleen Maurer. A Governor's task force in Texas...
