Executive pay: do CEOs get paid too much?

Article Abstract:

The much-publicized CEO salaries worth millions of dollars may not be part of a system rooted in greed, but more closely linked to job performance and a booming economy. The media, unions, and social activists have criticized CEO pay packages such as Green Tree Financial Corp's Lawrence Coss' $102 million. Though critics believe the salaries represent corporate excess and employee neglect, many experts feel the system is fair and merely reflects performance and stock market strength. The fairness of the system can be better understood when evaluated during a time of economic weakness.

Financial support

Article Abstract:

Support for public broadcasting came in the form of financial contributions and the enactment of appropriate legislation. The middle 1960s witnessed the sponsorship of educational television by philanthropic groups notably the Ford Foundation. In Nov 1967, the Public Broadcasting Act was approved. The law established the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. In 1969, the Public Broadcasting Service was created and in 1970, the National Public Radio became reality. Both of these were station-owned cooperatives engaged in programming distribution.

Faith healers and freedom of religion

Article Abstract:

The increasing number of cases involving parents who turn to faith healing instead of conventional medicine to treat their children's illnesses concerns health-fraud activists and professional medical organizations. But opponents of spiritual healing practices are faced with legal impediments, such as the First Amendment rights to freedom of religion and states' religious exemption laws. There are also state and federal regulations that allow the spiritual-healing doctrines of the Christian Science Church.
