Headlines from June 3, 1990
The Work Week Grows; Tales From The Digital Treadmill
LEAD: ON Wall Street in the 1960's, there was the theory of the paddling duck. An employee would slip into the office at daybreak, do a couple of hours' hard work and then go out for breakfast. He would amble back as his colleagues arrived and would glide through the day, impressing everyone with his effortless mastery of his chores.

LEAD: Almost breathlessly, everyone from merchants to T-shirt salesmen and gossip columnists awaits the Gorbachev visits to Minneapolis and San Francisco. Page 14. Back in Moscow, Boris N. Yeltsin basked in the absence of his political rival. And there are signs that the Soviet economy is sinking even lower.

LEAD: President Bush and President Mikhail S. Gorbachev withdrew to the relative informality of Camp David, Md., today and applied their growing rapport to such problems as regional conflicts, Soviet emigration and anti-Semitism.
