IN MARCH, the Providence
Journal-Bulletin reported that the
Internal Revenue Service office in
Rhode Istand was specializing in
pursuing tax underpayments by
pizza parlors. The office calculated
a standard amount of flour ina
pizza, divided that by the total flour
the restaurant purchased, found the
number of pizzas made, and then
- determined the likely income of the
store, which was often more than
what the store reported.

=” On March 8, the New York City
_ Division of School Facilities finally
‘attached doors to the stalls in the

girls’ restroom at Public School 206

in Brooklyn, following years of’:

complaining by the principal. The
doors were requisitioned on May
25, 1989 — 1 7747 days vattier.

~ Department of the Interior official in

the 1960s to flood the Grand
Canyon for a hydroelectric plant; a
plan by then-Atomic Energy
Commission chairman James
Schlesinger to dispose of nuclear
waste by shooting it into the sun on
a space shuttle; and the World
Health Organization's 1960s’ pro-
gram to kill mosyuitocs on Borneo
with U.S.-made DDT. The program
so disrupted the food chain that the
island was soon overrun with rats,

until the U.S. parachuted in cats to °

control them.

A U.S. Senate sub-committee

recently found that the number of

drug and alcohol addicts signing up
for benefits under a federal program
for the “disabled” had tripled in
three years. In large part, this hap-
pened because the government does

“not verify whether the benefits are

being spent on addiction counseling

_ or merely go to buy more drugs.

Over 25,000 addicts reccive $1.4
‘billion a year under the program. In
Cleveland, Ohio, police disclosed in
January that 91 of the 330 fugitives
rounded up during stings in 1993
were receiving an average of $330 a
month on welfare. Regulations pro-
hibit cross-checking fugitives’

records with welfare records.

ROSE MARCUS has sent
me information om Philip

Sedgwick’s upcoming visit to|

Vancouver. Sedgwick, a col-
league, has authored The |
Astrology of Transcendence,
The Astrology of Deep Space
and The Sun As The Center. 1
have read none of them.
However, he is evidently a_
dynamic speaker, very witty
(according to Rose) and although

his lecture, The End Of Co-depen- is

dence —A New Erin’.
Relationships, will be astrologically _
based, the average person will be
adie to follow along. ,

Rose suggests that what we have

gent side of our wonderful and -->

“ prosperity, Tuesday. Be alert for, deceptive:

enlightening profession.” Well, I

certainly hope’so because here 1: am

encouraging readers te.“have a go.”
Topics covered include: “Being.

self-centered in a healthy way”;

“How to determine your needs”;
“What is a ‘soul-mate’ anyway?"

“Setting good relationship models’: ’
. for yourself”; “How to mect your

needs”; “How do | know this is ‘the
one’?”; and “By the way, what if
I'm already i ina relationship?”

- This entertaining lecture takes |

p-m., at Granville Island. TH be
there to “ “check-out” this fellow
who also happens to be a photogra-

. pher and screenwriter (like me).

I'm especially intrigued by his,
“What would relationships be like if
people approached them from an
entirely new perspective?” -

The profound and startling ener-
gies of Uranus and Neptune will
soon affect a series of black hole
positions. The result: a new para-
