Including such workers, the ranks of telecommuters are even higher; For employers from the federal government to small businesses, telecommuting provides a way to boost productivity, save on real estate and attract good workers in a competitive labor market 1 "We've heard from employees that the flexibility that teleworking provides them certainly has been.

"You have to get used to it," said Madsen, a sales manager in suburban Salt Lake City. "But I love the freedom of having my office here at home." Despite entrenched resistance from many managers, more and more companies are allowing telecommuting, and more Americans are taking them up on it, according to surveys released this week.

LOUIS Forget the frogs. Anheuser-Busch is going right to the top in its effort to reassert Budweiser as the "King of Beers." August Busch HI, 60, will make his debut next week in the first of several commercials that focus on quality and tradition.

The campaign is a departure from the brewer's usual ad lineup of frogs, lizards and penguins. Bankruptcies advertisements for the cereal. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Kraft's budgets for graphic design were so generous that all it took was "the right combination of employee and vendor" willing to scheme together, Citarella said. DeVito, who ran. a graphics design studio, allegedly plotted with Claudia Cattell, a Kraft manager trusted to assign design projects for cereal boxes.

Mrs. Cattell has pleaded guilty in exchange for a sentence of four to 12 years and is expected to be a key witness against DeVito. If convicted, DeVito could get eight and one-third to 25 years in prison. Citarella said Mrs. Cattell, 46, and DeVito, 49, would agree to bill Kraft a certain amount and split whatever was profit, "matching their shares dollar for dollar." The defense attorney took no issue with that, seeking to place all the blame on Mrs.

Cattell while focusing on Kraft's willingness to spend.

President Clinton has indicated he will not sign a tax bill that includes it.

Interviewed by The Wall Street Journal, he said of indexing: "I have never never seen any revenue estimates that don't show that you get a massive explosion in revenue loss" in later years. As matters now stand, capital gains are multiply taxed: as earned by individuals, as corporate income, when realized as capital gains, perhaps in estate taxes and as inflation. Based on this, a reasonable person might believe such taxes are levied because capital is a threat to the nation. It isn't, of course; it is essential to economic growth. The impact of a more sensible capital gains policy would be measured in output, jobs and household net worth.

It would lift productivity growth, and thereby raise living While you might lament the shrinkage of what had appeared to be a decent gain, you might become angry when you dwell on some of the reasons why. First, taxes were applied to "income" you never earned or saw or had the use of. Nonexistent income. But that's the way taxes are figured; that is, inflation is taxed as income. You paid taxes on the basis of having earned $500 in buying power when in reality your buying power was just $410.

Uncle Sam calls inflation "income" and charges dearly for it. He also does his bit to create it, which is another reason why his attitude disturbs so many people. Uncle Sam can be a major contributor to inflation through deficits. Indexing would eliminate paying taxes on phantom income, which in some instances can mean a tax rate of more than 100 percent that is, taxes paid on losses. It's not uncommon.

Rationally, this should Associated Press NEW YORK If you invest $500 and have the very good fortune to see it grow to $1,000 in five years, you might assume you have doubled your money. That's before accounting for inflation, of course, which might have lowered buying power by a total of 18 percent during those five years, reducing your $500 gain to $410. But that's before federal capital gains taxes, which may amount to 28 percent. Based on a capital gain of $410, your tax would be $114.80, but that's too reasonable an assumption. The tax would be applied to the $500, and it would amount to $140.

That $140 would be deducted from your real capital gains of $410, leaving just $270 for you. Well, that's before state income taxes. If you live in a state such as Connecticut, where capital gains are taxed at an additional 6 percent, your $270 would be reduced to $240. Associated Press WHITE PLAINS, N. Y.

A man who designed the cereal boxes for Alpha-Bits and Cocoa Pebbles is accused of helping steal $6 million by overbuying Kraft General Foods. Assistant District Attorney Ken Citarella said in opening statements Wednesday that Kraft was "simply ripe to be taken." Joseph DeVito is accused of grand larceny and commercial bribery. DeVito's lawyer, Kevin Kitson, said his client was caught in an extortion scheme, as a victim rather than a criminal, who "just wanted to produce a design that was acceptable to Kraft for the best price he could get." Those prices were high, he said, because of the enormous importance Kraft puts on its cereal packaging. What sells the cereal, he said, is not what's in it "but whether Barney and Fred are on the box waving to the kids."
