Wouldn’t it be nice…..In 1967 testimony before a Senate

subcommittee indicated that by 1985 people could be working just 22 hours a week or 27 weeks a year or could retire at 38. That would leave only the great challenge of finding a way to enjoy all that leisure (Time Magazine, 1989, The Rat Race)
