Lockheed).
It is easy to see here that there are
millions of economic opportunities
available in this land to those ‘who
understand the system’, and not avail­
able to those for whom relev ant infor­
mation is foreclosed through eco­
nomic circumstance (the relatively
poor, women and minorities). But

this you need to know the basic struc­

industry and how it is that many
millions of people ar engaged in mak­

every part or component of the fin­

Alan Jones. 56, of Coos Bay said,
“1 caught just the tail end of the
Pow erball draw ing on television
Wednesday , and I thought I’d matched
four numbers to win $100. Then,

someone in the Coos Bay area had the
wining ticket, but hadn't claimed the
prize yet 1 was absolutely floored to
find out five of the six num bers
matched and the ticket was worth
$ 100,000! My dog. Little Bit. and 1 sat
up all night and waited until daw n to
drive to Lottery headquarters in Sa­
