Supply and demand in communist and capitalist systems
The piece argues capitalists excel at meeting or creating demand, while communists fail to generate supply, citing repeated agricultural shortfalls and a strong military buildup. It notes rumors that Gorbachev aided East Germans’ escape to the west and observes increasing Soviet migration to the United States, with the U.S. reluctant to absorb more.

Short and fat heroes lose ground in televised sports
In a bar debate, Fat Harry laments the TV fixation on lean pro athletes. He recalls Porky Oliver and Billy Casper as examples of short, fat golfers who inspired him to start playing. He notes Golf, basketball, hockey, and bowling have become clone-like, uniform bodies, and questions losing his identity if he diets.

Tax code hurts retirees who work, old rules criticized
A column argues the earnings limit on Social Security penalizes workers aged 62 to 69, calling the system absurd. It cites a hypothetical 62 year old Joe Needham earning $4,800 Social Security and working as a guard, noting taxes erode benefits at 50 percent marginal rate. Economists say eliminating the limit could net $15 billion in output and billions in tax gains, while lawmakers push to raise limits to ease unfairness and boost labor participation.
