A crackling series of shows on everything from lead poisoning in our inner cities

to the use of DDT to curb malaria in Sri Lanka to the effect of a bank merger on the

banks' employees. You pays your money and you takes your choice, but all sides of the

questions are brilliantly argued. JB: "When you can allow a Chemical Bank to merge

with a Chase Manhattan and eliminate 10,000 jobs with no safety net, with nothing else

there, that is immoral..." TS: "Is it less immoral if 20,000 people lose their jobs in very

small businesses over the same period of time, as often happens?" ... JCG: "On

average, it's probably true that the [Environmental Protection Agency] is killing more

people than it's saving." ... PdP: "We spent $5.5 trillion [on welfare] since 1964, and

there are more people in poverty than when we began. The experiment has simply

failed." SE: "So what do you do with the kids?" PdP: "What you do is you start with a

different philosophy. The philosophy is that everybody works and everybody earns,

unless you're disabled." SE: "Right. So we've got a 16-year-old girl who's got a bad

philosophy and a 16-year-old boy who's got a bad philosophy, and between them they

create a 1-year-old child who needs to eat. What do you want to do now?"
