...lies about the glories of the Iranian dynasties, and they encouraged racism towards non-Persian-speaking minorities in Iran as well as nearby nations. A special military guard was stationed on most large university campuses to mute student opposition. The number of students tortured, lost or murdered is unkown. Yet the universities remained a bulwark of opposition to the Shah and his cultural agression...
...insures that government will take larger chunks out of the earnings of lower and middle class citizens than out of the incomes of the rich. Representative Ullman tries to mitigate this inequity by taxing necessities such as food, housing and clothing at a rate of only 5 per cent. Yet this still raises the price of necessities for the poor, and it certainly doesn't permit the VAT to escape condemnation as a wholly regressive form of taxation...
LONG AND ULLMAN correctly calculate that an attack on our falling rate of productivity strikes at the core of America's economic woes. Yet the VAT leads this attack in a painfully misdirected way.

As long as federal regulations limit banks' interest rates on savings accounts to 5.75% while inflation runs well over double that rate, it will make no sense for consumers to save large parts of their incomes. If the government wants Americans to save money, it must eliminate these interest ceilings...
...tempted. Some of the best college match-ups of the decade can be seen in the bowls, especially Southern California vs. Thank-God-No-More-Woody-Hayes Ohio State in the Rose Bowl, and number one Bear-Bryant-Is-Still-Around Alabama against-some as yet unnamed victim in the Sugar Bowl.

No matter who's on the field, be sure to check in with Lindsay Nelson at his one-millionth Cotton Bowl...
...PROBLEM WITH Lysistrata is that it's just not ready. The rewritten script, while something of an affront to Aristophanes, could work, given time and proper direction. There's talent on that Winthrop stage, but it has not yet been polished into a presentable production. The actors all have their lines down; now it's time to start working on delivery and blocking. Perhaps they should go back into rehearsal and open again in April...
