...mass disruptions-like the French and Belgian protesters who blocked roads with tractors and burning tires last week-it remains to be seen whether the politicians will have the stomach to push through sweeping changes. But Fischler did take a first step last week by proposing a 90-head limit on the number of cattle each producer can raise...
...Chairman applying Taylor rules would be harder to bash, since he'd just be following the formula. But that would also limit the good he could do. Taylor rules, many economists say, don't work because they are reactive. They don't move rates until inflation picks up. It's like not hitting your brakes until you touch the other guy's bumper. Greenspan's rate cut in August 1998 probably saved the world from financial meltdown. Taylor's rules would have precluded the move. It's seductive to think we could build a Greenspan box, a computer...
Married couples can leave as much as $1.35 million to heirs tax free. That limit rises to $2 million by 2006. This is no small amount, for sure.

The savings have already been taxed as income or would be taxed as capital gain when heirs tapped it. Yet the estate tax--essentially, double taxation--virtually precludes the moderately rich from bequeathing financial security. This...
While it is true that it is "never too late to eat right," your comment that dietitians have "harangued us to lower the amount of fat in our diet" is not accurate. Dietitians have been instructing people for years not only to lower fat but also to limit saturated fats and increase omega-3 fatty acids. Dietitians encourage people to make lifestyle changes that will help improve their quality of life. These changes require time and effort and are not the quick fixes people like to hear about and the media like to write about. JOAN STEWART Mount Holly...
...benefits of RU-486 lie in its flexibility and privacy, but the restrictions on its distribution limit what the community can gain from the new drug. UHS's decision not to offer the pill at Holyoke Center will require women to make three unnecessary trips into Boston. Students should only have to visit another facility in the rare cases where they a follow-up surgical procedure is required, in which case their primary-care physician could accompany them...
