With the cost of living apt to rise another 8% next year, no one is urging a massive easing of either fiscal or monetary policy. But the Administration has been quietly pressing Federal Reserve Board Chairman Arthur Burns to try harder to increase the money supply. In the last two weeks, the money supply has moved upward again after nearly five months of no growth. Housing is usually last to benefit from an easing of credit conditions, but Burns is predicting that credit will relax enough so that large amounts of mortgage money will be available by next spring...
...hoping all decisions will sort of be collective," says Shanta Driver '75, the founder of the center. "But there's not a whole lot of time when people can get together." When they do get together, discussions are apt to be heated and noisy. Staffers of the center represent a fairly wide range of feminist opinion and sometimes find it difficult to reach a consensus--but most seem to agree that this method of group decision-making, although perhaps relatively inefficient, is worthwhile...

In fact, they were composed by the late Will Rogers 41 years ago. Since early March, Rogers' wry, apt commentaries on U.S. life in the '20s and early '30s have been resuscitated in a daily column syndicated by the Des Moines Register and Tribune. Usually the pieces have uncannily current impact...
