...bargain as a result of global trade or to take to the streets to defend their right to a cheap sweater. Or suppose the U.S. slaps a tariff on foreign sweaters and the foreign country retaliates by raising a tariff on something we're selling them--the people who would lose their jobs aren't even identifiable for sure, though for sure they exist. Likewise the people who lose jobs because shoppers who have to pay more for sweaters have less money to spend on other things...
Dozens of such centers now operate around the U.S., says Jill Kagan of the National Respite Coalition, and there is mounting evidence that without them, the U.S. tally of bumps, bruises and worse would be even more shameful than it is: more than a million cases of child abuse and neglect in 1997; more than 1,000 deaths. Senator Paul Wellstone, a Minnesota Demo-crat, has introduced a bill to restore cuts in federal funding for crisis nurseries. Is it possible parents can abuse such a service? Maybe, says A. Sidney Johnson, president of Prevent Child Abuse America...
...animated cavorting of mice and dwarfs didn't care to be elevated. And from the high end, Walt got contempt. Oskar Fischinger, the famed abstract filmmaker who had worked briefly on the project, called it "a conglomeration of tastelessness."

A little nostalgia, a little Broadway...
...giving her voice the rest it never quite got following her throat surgery. A year and a half ago, when she approached lyricist Fred Ebb, her longtime collaborator, about helping to put together a Broadway show, he said he'd do it only if she assured him she would get herself into shape. "I told her if I couldn't sit in a room and listen and be proud of her, I'm out. I said I don't want to see you fail." Now, claims Ebb--who wrote and directed Minnelli on Minnelli--she's in "the best shape...
