The Sacramento Bee had an article over the week end. Business says it is willing to hire more welfare recipients. All it wants in return is a limit on wrongful dismissal suits. Sounds fair Where is labor on all of this? Am I deaf or is the new radical labor leadership silent? --

I am sorry that the Malecki affair spilt out into pen-l. Malecki is now gone and the war is over. Hopefully, Louis P. will continue to settle his scores on the M-I list, although I confess that I find him amusing even when he singles me out for his invective. -- Michael Perelman Economics
