Greenspan expects "no breakout of inflation," analyzes Baumohl, but he does believe it "could pick up a bit in 1999." One of the main reasons the Fed chairman cited for his prediction was what he called "worker depletion." Full employment has created a scarcity of labor in a number of sectors, explains Baumohl, and that shortage could cause a small rise in wage inflation this year.

...newcomer to Nashville, Moorer writes songs that have an airy, panoramic sound and enough lonesome twang to fill a steel-guitar convention. She also comes with an impressive calling card: her lovely acoustic ballad A Soft Place to Fall was a breakout hit from the soundtrack to last spring's The Horse Whisperer. Moorer's deft songwriting proves she can live up to the advance billing. Classic mid-tempo heartbreakers like Tell Me Baby and Set You Free are her specialty, coaxing a gorgeously plaintive edge from her voice. Moorer may not have the pipes to belt it out like...
