BUSINESSMEN OF THE WORLD, UNITE!
(Richard Reeves)
Sat, 4 Sep 2010 04:05:42 AMRichard Reeves - LOS ANGELES -- In the early 1980s, in a book called "American Journey," I calculated that American corporate chief executive officers were making 30 to 40 times as much as they paid average production workers. Looking back at that, I see that I was surprised to learn that that ratio had increased from 25-to-1 in 1970 -- and that in other developed countries the ratio was closer to 10-to-1.

Young Adults Shy Away From 'Democrat' Label
(The Atlantic Wire)
Fri, 3 Sep 2010 03:53:53 PMThe Atlantic Wire - Citing a Pew Research Poll, The New York Times' Kirk Johnson surmises
that college students, who once swooned for President Obama, are now
