"A preview of the U.S. without pensions," by WashPost's Peter Whoriskey: "The first full generation of workers to retire since [corporations began dropping traditional pensions about 30 years ago] offers a sobering preview."
- Charles Glover, 70, a cashier at a Dollar General outside Tulsa who worked 27 years at McDonnell Douglas, then found work at a Whirlpool factory, then at a place that makes robots for inspecting welding, and also picked up some jobs doing computer-aided design: "I hope I can quit working in a few years."
