...Finally, in a frantic outburst, you claim that the M.D.C., "in an appalling example of un-Americanism,... handed over a quarter of a million dollars of tax-money (and plenty more to come) to a group of the socially prominent, and those who hope to achieve social prominence by fooling around in the theatre--at the city's expense." Not only is this statement unwarranted, but it is also patently libelous; and it would serve you right to have a defamation suit tossed in your lap. Neither the C.D.F., Group 20, nor any other local drama group is concerned with...
...medical costs (up in Atlanta 4.5% over last year) and dozens of minor expenses, e.g., shoeshines (up 10? to 35? in Sacramento) and haircuts (up 25? to $2 in San Francisco). Everywhere, middle-income families felt the pinch of such pressures as rising commuter fares, real estate prices, taxi taxes, pipe tobacco and cigar taxes, real estate taxes, school taxes, gasoline taxes. The state of Washington alone has new tax increases this year on liquor (5%), real estate rentals (.4%), business transactions (10%), and even a brand new thought-earth-moving...

As a last resort the government will expropriate, but estates under proper cultivation will not be taken over, no matter what their size. "The law is neither leftist nor rightist," says Agriculture Minister Victor Jimenez Landinez. "It is simply just...
Many things in this script tax to the umost the oft-stated "willing suspension of disbelief" that every playgoer is supposed to bring with him into a theatre. Shakespeare was never primarily concerned with story line, anyway; he was more interested in character than in plot. For All's Well he just snapped up a Boccaccio tale from a secondary source, complete with the trite gimmick of identification of rings. But he failed to expend the necessary effort on characteriaztion as well. Pascal once said, "Every author has a meaning in which all the contradictory passages agree...
Aware that North German Lloyd was synonymous with service, Bertram and Kulenkampff set up a hotel and restaurant in Bremen to hold together stewards and cooks, placed seamen on other ships until jobs were ready for them. With $22 million in government loans and fast tax write-offs, they quickly built up a fleet of new freighters, now have 40 in service...
