...sure, difficulties as well. The family allowance would still not take care of the childless poor, while the negative income tax could not really be administered, as its proponents sometimes claim, with only a small addition to the staff of the Internal Revenue Service. For one thing, money would have to be handed out monthly or weekly, a big chore that would cause rather substantial changes in the IRS bureaucracy. The negative income tax would have a further practical drawback. Middle-income workers would not benefit at all, as they would with family allowances, and they would undoubtedly balk...
...eleven episodes old, Julia unfortunately shows no such thing. It is trite, sugary and preposterous. Take one recent show. When a kid says "Hello, there" to Julia's bright six-year-old son Corey (Marc Copage), he pipes: "Hello, where?" Squeals Corey's teen-age baby sitter: "You've got the wildest mind since they wrapped Ezra Pound in a wet sheet!"

On the contrary, he says, the outcry resulted from the complete credibility TV has for the public -- the result of merging...
...cost of a Radcliffe education. Moreover, the building plans are based on anachronistic evaluations of Radcliffe's role and the desires of its students. The new $7 million Currier House will relieve over-crowding in other dorms, but allowing more students to live off-campus would do the same thing. And the plans for coffee shops and renovated dorms show the same nostalgic attachment to the concept of small-college community that is increasingly out of touch with new demands for genuine coeducation...
