No Hope for Consumer in Tariff Reform Debate
The piece notes optimism faded as the tariff commission failed to flex protections, with 340 inquiries requested but only 36 ordered and 3 concluded, none of general importance.

A separate line mentions a divorced wife of a millionaire planning to wed a bootmaker, staying in her accustomed state.
