...efforts may fizzle. Mullins has spent all of the $30,000 he committed to his protest, and his twelve-member staff may have to fight on as unpaid volunteers. To raise more money, the Old Cola Drinkers are selling T shirts for $6 that are embossed with a new-Coke can in a red circle crossed by the universal don't-do line...
...apparently cooperating with investigators, unlike his brother and nephew, who have pleaded not guilty. Evidence in the hearing strongly suggested that money was the Walkers' motive. Documents indicated that after the 1979 failure of a car-radio shop, Arthur and John Walker faced a $28,807 lien for unpaid taxes. FBI agents testified that John Walker then urged his brother to get a job "where he would have access to classified information." Arthur landed a position (and a top security clearance) with the VSE Corp., a defense contractor in Chesapeake, Va. He has admitted to the FBI that John Walker...
Kirkpatrick will also make about 20 unpaid appearances on behalf of the Republican Party in 1985. The G.O.P. threw a bash in April just to celebrate her change of registration. Republican National Committee Chairman Frank Fahrenkopf plans to showcase Kirkpatrick in a $100,000 campaign to convert Democrats in four states with potentially close Senate races next year (Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Louisiana).

Her article "Silly Novels by Lady Novelists" excoriates authors who mistake "vagueness for depth, bombast for eloquence, and affectation for originality." Even after it becomes known in 1859 that George Eliot is actually a woman, she is never accused of similar foolishness. For the rest of her life she is regarded as the formidable equal of such eminent Victorians as Charles Dickens and Herbert Spencer...
...probe of Cartier revealed that at least $260,000 in taxes went unpaid on 125 sales over three years. Warnock and Foster allegedly allowed some customers, who will not be prosecuted, to supply false non-New York shipping addresses (out-of-state buyers are exempt from sales taxes). Investigators charge that Cartier sent empty boxes to the bogus addresses, but the jewels left the store in the customers' pockets. Similar tax scams could be depriving New York State and local governments of more than $100 million in tax revenue annually; several retailers are still under investigation. Said New York City...
