...report, however, is not likely to settle the fairness debate. At his press conference, Reagan argued that the report does not weigh the favorable impact of lower inflation on the poor, who have little discretionary income and thus feel more acutely the pinch of rising prices. The CBO confined its analysis to the direct effects of tax and budget cuts. Similarly, the CBO did not try to measure the impact of increases in Social Security taxes paid by wage earners, since the hikes were enacted, although not fully put into effect, before Reagan took office. Those increases reduced the take...
...speech at the Law School last week, is "will they do it for women?" MacKinnon and other feminist scholars are presently arguing, and I agree, that we ought to consider pornography (such as the Pi Eta letter) as a question of competing rights to free speech. We must weigh the rights of the pornographers against the rights of women who are silenced by pornography--who must live in fear of the sexual violence which pornographers portray as erotic and enjoyable...

Approaching the launch pad from a direction opposite to the service tower, it will neatly "mate," as the engineers like to put it, with the other building to form an enclosed, weather-protected space where the rest of the shuttle vehicle can be assembled. Like the tower, the assembly building will have a crane in its roof. Together the two machines can hoist the empty, 154.4-ft.-long...
They were conventional in length, height and weight (two-man bobs may not weigh more than 858 lbs., including both crewmen). But the sled bodies were made in one piece, rather than in two as are other bobs, and they were much narrower than normal, with dramatic fins that jutted from each side of their noses and flanks. These allowed the sleds to meet the letter if not the spirit of the regulation that requires a minimum width of 34 in. Other sleds also have stubby finlike projections at the nose to stabilize the machine, and while those...
