Employees can receive the benefits after an enrollment period for faculty and contract negotiations with some staff bargaining units. Administrators have not announced a definitive time span for the period, or when that period will begin...
...touching "Is there life after death?" Instantly a robotic male voice answered, "To see if we will follow the plan of our Heavenly Father, each of us is given two great gifts.

Great stuff, but it never happened, according to tapes and transcripts dug up by Rauch. Saxton was less Savonarola than Mister Rogers; the hearing was dull, even for C-SPAN. The lunch was breakfast, the room nonsmoking and nonhissing, and a third of the audience was women. Reich responds that transcripts couldn't reflect the hostility he felt. Who does he think he is--the President...
