Another component of the healthcare bill that is potentially devastating to our generation is the burden it places on small businesses. When one thinks of small businesses, one tends to think of mom and pop stores, family operations, and life savings. Yet a recent Kauffman Foundation report indicated that there is a “coming entrepreneurship boom” among people ages 20-34. The Democrats’ healthcare plan would require all small businesses with payrolls over $400,000—around one million employers—to cover healthcare or pay an 8 percent surcharge. This means...
...look after the eight children of prostitutes featured in the 2004 documentary Born into Brothels, fared much better with its wards. The children were taught to take photographs and sell them. "The kids have earned over $100,000, which goes directly to their education," says Ross Kauffman, one of the film's producers. Two of the children have gone on to study in the U.S. Still, the kids have to make the choice themselves to better their lives. Some of them have great difficulty doing so. One of the girls has apparently fallen back into the darkness the film...
...ridiculous exaggeration is perfectly aligned with the over-the-top feel of the entire play. Monologues by Vlad and Elena are humorously long. Descriptions are extended to fantastic lengths. The intentional theatrics beg for a clever use of lighting and set, which the A.R.T. and director Anne Kauffman readily provide.Asides, fantasies, and chaos are depicted satisfyingly by skillful adjustments of the stage. During monologues, the lights dim save for a single spotlight on the speaker. Projected words on a white banner at the back of the stage present the date or the location, or the depiction of imaginary events, allowing...
Court documents allege Maionica confided he was "brought into the conspiracy by a high-level official of DISIP." They say Kauffman and Duran - who own ritzy Florida homes, enjoy racing Ferraris and are part of what Venezuelans call the revolution's "Boli-bourgeoisie" - issued thinly veiled threats. They warned that "foreign government authorities would pursue Antonini" if he talked, and that it was in his children's best interest that he have "no problems" with Venezuela. At one cloak-and-dagger gathering, Canchica, using the name "Christian," allegedly told Antonini that PDVSA (the Venezuelan oil corporation) and the Chavez government...
Mulvihill claims to have 41 audio recordings and eight videotapes to play at trial; and the Maionica and Kauffman guilty pleas suggest that evidence may be as potent as he suggests. Then again, Duran and Wanseele might be risking a trial partly because they know Mulvihill also charged Fidel Castro in the late 1980s with aiding Colombian drug traffickers, an accusation that was never proven. Either way, Chavez and the U.S. may both face more scrutiny this month than either bargained...
