...last week angrily waded into a raging economic argument. The subject: creeping inflation. That inflation is creeping nobody can deny. The August cost-of-living index figures show the twelfth consecutive monthly rise (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS). The argument is between those who say that inflation of any kind is evil and those who accept a limited amount of it as the inevitable price of prosperity and an expanding economy...
...girl of the title (Ellie Lambetti) is the daughter of a well-to-do businessman on the island of Hydra. Her father was killed in the war, and his family has fallen on evil days. To keep the big house going, they have let all the servants go, and they take in transients during the season.
