Washington fights over Kennedy travel plan stalls progress
Washington has little action expected this session to implement Kennedy's 32 point transportation program. Senate and House committees wavered, with Magnuson citing election year opposition from truckers and water carriers. Only partial progress exists, including repeal of the 19 percent federal excise tax on surface transport and halving the air tax.

Ruth Millett on ups and downs of marriage
Ruth Millett argues many divorces arise from the belief that unhappiness cancels a marriage. She says marriages have ups and downs and lasting happiness comes from enduring the bad with the good.

Security for you and veterans guide on working with benefits
A Retirement Advisors column explains that workers 62 or older can earn up to 1200 dollars per calendar year without reducing Social Security benefits. Earnings above that, up to 1700, reduce benefits at one dollar per two dollars earned, and those 72 or older can earn any amount without affecting benefits. It also clarifies that working more than 45 hours a month does not by itself cut benefits, and that past nonpayment of Social Security taxes can lower future retirement benefits by reducing the average earnings base.
