Colorado is also feeling the pinch of oversell. Through deliberate policy, Boulder has preserved the towering "flatiron" slabs to the west that give the city its name, but in all other directions it is bubbling over. Members of a Zero Population Growth chapter in Boulder, which once gloried in the title "Nicest Small Town in the U.S.," recently proposed a charter amendment that would set a ceiling of 100,000 on the population (current pop. 72,000). Though the amendment was voted down, concern is spreading. Denver now has more cars per capita than Los Angeles, and many Denverites...

...debate, however, about the quality of the company's workers. Paulucci insists that his employment policy is not a charitable act, but "serves our own interest." The company's handicapped employees are exceptionally hard workers who make few mistakes; turnover is extremely low and absenteeism near zero. Booz, Allen & Hamilton consultants were amazed by what one of them called "an atmosphere in which everyone works as hard and is as dedicated as if he were a member of a religious cult...
...raises the question of whether McGovern understands, as Lyndon Johnson did not, that spending more money does not necessarily cure social ills. At minimum, though, McGovern has picked the right targets. With rare exceptions, such as his proposal to increase price supports on wheat and dairy products, his plans zero in on obvious and urgent social needs. McGovern would also begin the long-overdue process of shifting the funding of social programs away from cities and states, which pay for them with inefficient and regressive sales and property taxes, to the Federal Government, which can pay with generally fair...
