...surging to scary levels. The January Consumer Price Index, released last week, rose at an annual rate of 11.4%. Leading the price parade was food, up at an 18.2% rate. Contends David Grove, a former IBM vice president who heads his own economic consulting firm: " To get inflation under control, everyone has to sacrifice. There has to be a willingness by the public to forgo tax relief, tolerate tighter money, and not put tremendous pressure on the Government to step up spending for pet programs."
