On the Ho Chi Minh Trail

Article Abstract:

The newly formed Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA) held their first convention. Founder Robert Muller's goals are to normalize relations with Vietnam, and restructure veterans' benefits. Muller is opposed to special pensions for veterans and nonservice-related medical care. VVA is for repatriation of Amerasian children, and study of Agent Orange effects within Vietnam. The VVA is also opposed to administration policies in Lebanon and wants to send observers into Central America.

Instant intimacy: when the silence in a subway car is broken, you may suddenly find yourself with a needy friend

Article Abstract:

A man's sudden plunge off a NYC subway platform and his equally sudden rescue before he could be injured led to the author's encounter with his lingering fear and his effort to engage her in a conversation of reassurance. Such encounters do not occur on subways because silence is the environment in which commuters share a space that moves them from one location to another. That silence is uniquely broken for the good of all when crisis brings strangers together.

Retrospective tax legislation draws fire

Article Abstract:

The Canadian Bar Assn's Joint Committee on Taxation and the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants have submitted objections and alternate proposals on income tax reform to Canadian Finance Minister Donald Mazankowski. Both groups believe that the Finance Department's Jul 1991 draft amendment proposals to implement adjusted tax rates retroactively would unduly burden taxpayers.
