Graffiti Across Pompeii Mirrors Modern City Walls
In Chicago, Suzanna Grant notes Pompeii walls overflow with graffiti on love, sex and daily life similar to New York and Los Angeles today. Yet ancient graffiti are poetic and imaginative, revealing a society where walls served as public message boards and even political endorsements amid a pre eruption election mood.

Reserve board head favors business tax cut
Federal Reserve Chairman G. William Miller urged that about one third of next year’s tax cuts be directed to business to spur capital investment. He backed accelerated depreciation as the best way to boost investment and proposed a total tax cut of 15 to 20 billion dollars with one third for business, contrasting with House and Carter plans. Miller warned only 500 million would directly incentivize investment, with 3.5 billion for general business tax rate reductions.

The House uses anti abortion amendments to limit access for poor women under Medicaid and to restrict workplace pregnancy protections. Senate compromise fails for now, risking passage of a key women’s rights bill.
