...ONLY is the Fogg itself a building of great whimsical charm, being vaguely neoclassical on the outside and surprisingly Italmate on the inside, but it also houses a collection for which many of the great museums of the world would give their proverbial eye teeth.

Says Jerry Jasinowski, chief economist for the National Association of Manufacturers: "We're in the eye of a hurricane right now. All the usual indicators aren't very useful in telling what's going to happen next." While the consensus is that growth will slow to a laggard 1% or 2% early in 1988, there are no concrete signs so far of a drastic consumer-spending slowdown.
