Tax reform stalls amid corporate lobbying and loopholes
The Tax Reform Act of 1975 faces strong industry pushback as corporate jets and lobbyists press Congress. Despite initial reform aims by Ways and Means members, revenues shrink from 2 billion to 745 million, with debate shifting to the House floor. A shift toward wealth or expenditure taxes is proposed but rarely discussed, highlighting entrenched tax-advantage incentives.

Amtrak to raise most fares while Lake Shore Limited stays
Amtrak plans a 5 to 10 percent fare increase systemwide to cover rising costs, but the Lake Shore Limited route serving Elyria will keep its fares unchanged. Spokesman Joseph Vranich notes the new route’s advertising and recent launch justify not raising Elyria fares. The Elyria station on Buckeye Street serves the Chicago to New York and Boston corridor with daily ridership rising and potential winter train sellouts.

Thornton Wilder dies after decades of literary fame
Philosopher of American drama and fiction Thornton Wilder, noted for Our Town and The Skin of Our Teeth, dies at an advanced age. He studied archaeology in Rome in 1920 and taught at a New Jersey prep school before his Broadway breakthrough. He received multiple honors from Oberlin College, including honorary doctorates in 1952. His brother Amos Niven Wilder, also an Oberlin alum, earned the same honor that year. Burial will be private with a memorial service to be announced later.
