...simplest way for the Federal Reserve to control money supply would be to feed a predetermined quantity of reserves into the banking system, turn a deaf ear to pleas that it shovel in more, no matter how intense the demand for loans becomes, and let interest rates go wherever the market takes them. The board has traditionally resisted that approach out of fear that an abrupt crackdown in an inflationary economy would cause interest rates to leap up so violently as to produce financial chaos.

Jimmy smiled from ear to ear: that big, wide Jimmy smile, and Ashley spent the rest of the time walking around the platform, endearing herself and her father to the crowd of Democratic notables. Tsongas was clearly the man of the day, King a hesitant afterthought. And perhaps somebody told Carter he should visit Lynn to endorse the Democratic ticket partly as a favor to U.S. House Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill Jr. (D-Mass.), whose...
