The Best Policy? Retail Theft and Employee Morale
Industrial psychologist Lawrence R. Zeitlin argues in Psychology Today that employee theft in American retail totals 8.5 to 10 billion dollars yearly, with about 4 billion from stores. He notes per-worker theft averages about 300 dollars annually, or 1.50 daily, and says management often opts for controlled theft as a way to preserve job enrichment and retention rather than raise pay or improve duties. He urges ethical alternatives and cautions that theft remains theft regardless of its justification.

Global View on Soviet Sex Rules Targets Single Men
Leon Dennen notes Kremlin campaigns against bachelors amid falling birth rates. Literaturnaya Gazetta condemns bachelorhood as harmful to society and individuals, urging earlier marriages and childbearing. Russia studies sex and marriage rise, with sex education in schools, while a nine to one divorce-to-marriage rate adds burden on single men. The state imposes a six percent income tax on bachelors as penalty for low birthrates.
