Between 1970 and 2000, middle-class neighborhoods in the 100 largest cities in the nation dropped from 58 to 41 percent, outstripping the corresponding drop in mid-level incomes from 28 to 22 percent.

Xerox famously, and disastrously, attempted to create the ��쐏aperless office��� in the 1970s. If anything, we use more paper now than ever, owing to the ease of running off copies with laser printers and copiers. |
