Mr Brown denounces Social Security rules he calls crass discrimination against husbands retired with full benefits at 45 while wives wait until 62. He argues budgets shrink, allowances vanish for him, yet his wife keeps spending on cosmetics and outfits. He laments the mismatch and ill adaptation after retirement.
The excerpt follows Brown, a retiree, who worries about Social Security and health costs as he supports his wife during retirement. He notes his wife maintains her routines and social life while his confidence in a pension plan worries him, suggesting a younger wife would demand more support. The piece also reports the death of John Smothers, 54, a janitor at the Cathedral Building, shot in Oakland lobby with three spent shells nearby.
