Dinner Stories and Snippets From a Wartime Tour
A newly arrived general tours a site with a guide whispering to stay hidden from snipers. A hedge hide yields questions about distance and danger. Jokes describe a brigadier’s misaddressed letters and a child teething note. A deaf mother’s reaction closes the vignette.
First Liberty Bonds Do Not Outperform When Holding Limits Apply
Bond market guidance notes that discount sales in recent months favored second and third issue bonds. First Liberty Bonds offer no tax advantage under $5,000, but pay 0.75 percent less interest. Selling second or third issues to buy first issue bonds reduces earnings, and most people hold under $4,000. Exemptions apply equally, so saving and tax avoidance are illusory while supporting national interest.
