Warburg Professor of Economics Emeritus John K. Galbraith's The Affluent Society and Ford Professor of the Social Sciences Emeritus David Riesman '31's The Lonely Crowd are listed as two of the most influential books of the 1970s. The End of Ideology, written by Daniel Bell, Ford professor of the social sciences emeritus, appears as one of the most influential books of the 1960s...
Under the government department's current policy, middle-class whites and Asians indirectly subsidize the education of affluent minorities. Their tuition helps pay for the department's many expenses, thereby allowing the department to award generous financial aid packages to under-represented minorities. In effect, the department, like some modern day Sheriff of Nottingham, steals from the poor to give to the rich. We urge the government department to correct this inequitable policy by rewarding financial aid for all admittees solely on the basis of need...
...weeks would be poisoned by the battle over Medicare. "Morally bankrupt" was the way Gingrich described the scare-the-elderly tactics the Democrats have been using to oppose his party's plans for Medicare reform. The House G.O.P.'s vague proposal would require much higher premium payments from more affluent patients--singles making more than $75,000 and couples making more than $150,000. It would raise the Part B premiums that cover doctors' fees, not requiring seniors to join health-maintenance organizations, but encouraging them to do so. Republican budget projections count on many seniors' being lured into HMOS...
...others, gay tourists' choice demographics outweigh any prejudice. According to travel-industry studies, gays as a group represent a particularly affluent brand of consumer. Childless more often than not, gays typically have far more disposable income than do straights. "They clearly spend disproportionately more on travel than any other group," says Rex Briggs, project manager for Yankelovich Partners, a polling firm that surveyed gay and lesbian spending patterns. Gay travelers also tend to be more loyal than straights: surveys show they are especially appreciative of good service, and, if pleased, will return to a restaurant, hotel or resort again...
...billion in desired savings will be realized. The proposal would allow seniors to opt for HMOS and private insurance plans (with the government footing the presumably cheaper bill) or to stay with the traditional fee-for-service program and face increasing premiums (including even bigger increases for affluent seniors). The unveiling of the proposal didn't stop Democrats from renewing some familiar criticisms--namely that the Medicare cuts are intended to fund a G.O.P. tax cut for the wealthy--nor the President from brandishing a veto threat for the plan...
