Editorial notes from Don Graff say taxpayers are improving at filing returns. Early data shows long term error rates dropping to 5.7 percent from 8.5 and short term errors to 4.9 percent from 11.8. Simplified forms may help, though overall skill improvements are also cited.
A Miami Beach wire report says Mount Sinai Hospital researchers found chicken soup clears nasal passages and fights infection, showing efficacious upper respiratory tract infection therapy. The claim positions a common broth as a potential aid for cold misery.

A Washington study notes June patents by figures like Cyrus McCormick, Samuel Morse, Charles Goodyear, Henry Timken, Elmer Sperry, and Christopher Sholes.

Washington notes that the so called Georgia or Carter connection now fuels lobbying and consulting work. Joel B. Paris III, a WWII hero and former Georgia adjutant general, was hired by British Aerospace Dynamics Group as a 1500 dollar monthly consultant to promote the Rapier missile among federal officials. Georgia firms and lawyers with Washington offices report busier times since Carter’s inauguration, though some, like King & Spalding, resist a national office.
