The US alone has spent over twenty billion dollars in the past twenty years. Between surplus tax dollars and the money we would save from not paying foreign aid, we could pay back the national debt in a very short time. We can accomplish this exponentially, by other countries paying back their debt to us and our money from taxes we can have our debt paid by the year 2000(1). Yet our government is set o .....

.... are women. The rate of increase is so slow that parity with men on corporate boards will not be achieved until the year 2116 - or for 125 years.

.... study the site, mapping such features as the slope of the land, existing structures and the type of soil. They check local building codes and availability of utilities, make drawings which outline the work in detail, and draw up lists of materials to be used. They then invite bids from construction companies and landscape nursery companies.

.... because the semester is over and that the class will never have to be taken again, but people feel relieved because each person knows that he or she worked hard throughout the semester: staying up late, completing assignments, and studying for tests in order to receive a good grade in the class.

But at the same time, as costs and possibly interest rates rise, pressures begin to operate in the other direction, agai .....

Only human beings are able to have social responsibility (pp. 781-787). Corporate executives of corporations may have individual social values that they feel are important to social responsibility, but according to Freidman, they must not let thes .....
