...private savings have averaged only about 7% of the G.N.P. A budget deficit of 6% [which is what $200 billion represents] would absorb an amount equal to nearly all of those savings." The Government's growing borrowing needs could cause what Citicorp's senior domestic economist, Peter Crawford, calls "painful conflicts between the Treasury and private borrowers." This "crowding out" of private borrowers is part of an economic Catch-22. Explains Wall Street Analyst Sam Nakagama: "If the Federal Reserve tries to keep interest rates down in the face of a big deficit, it would have to permit...
Springfield's Jen Crawford was the player Delaney Smith referred to. She scored 12 in the first half, and only six in the second. The Crimson got more trouble from Sharon Playdon, who scored 15 points before fouling out with five minutes left in the game...
...appearances are anything, the 17th century certainly seems to agree with Faye Dunaway, 41. As does her near typecasting in the role of heroine-bitch.

Some of this brings back memories of Hedy Lamarr's 1966 autobiography, Ecstasy and Me: My Life As a Woman, which wound up telling so much that the "author" denounced it as "obscene, shocking, scandalous, naughty, wanton, fleshy, sensual, lecherous, lustful and scarlet...
...this means that movie stars in private do not leave behind their public images. Ladd: The Life, The Legend, The Legacy of Alan Ladd reveals that the actor dwelt in a hell of insecurity that was utterly incompatible with the cool, confident screen image. In Mommie Dearest, Christina Crawford establishes that her poised mother Joan occasionally became a hysterical, sadistic monster at home. Bing Crosby, the easygoing crooner of love ballads, behaved like a callous heel toward his first wife Dixie, if Bing Crosby: The Hollow Man is to be believed...
