In Rae Anne's first psychology class, the teacher asked if anyone wanted to talk about the strike. One boy blurted, "I feel screwed." The problem of making up the lost work calls for the sort of student-teacher cooperation that money cannot...

But its impact might be magnified by a reduction in credit-financed buying of other goods, notably cars. Last week General Motors cut its year-end dividend to $2.50 a share, from $3.25 a year ago. GM officials formally clung to their prediction that car sales will total a near record 11.5 million next year, but added that high capital outlays make it wise for the company to conserve cash...
