...result of sound business decisions. Even if Hudgins and the other Negro directors genuinely desire to help Harlem, their good intentions cannot overcome the real financial difficulties which Negro-oriented banks everywhere face. Because of the low levels of income of most Harlem residents, individual family checking or saving accounts are very small, usually less than $1000. A small account contributes little to the bank's total assets, but will be expensive because small accounts always show more withdrawals and checks to process per hundred dollars than large business accounts. The predominance of such low-level, high-cost accounts...

The President put in a beautiful day. "He's a heckuva man," marveled Bishop. And, more to the point, "a heckuva...
...Happy Ending. Was Boswell downhearted? Not for long. After a thrilling visit to the chief of the Corsican rebels, he dashed off an eloquent Account of Corsica and found himself suddenly a bestselling author. Three years, four courtships and five mistresses later, Boswell was well established as an Edin burgh advocate, and at 29 married an impecunious cousin, Margaret Montgomerie. Father was furious, but Boswell insisted that he really loved the girl. And he really did. As the volume ends, the reader realizes that Boswell was less a fool than he liked to seem, though certainly more a fool than...
