...Russell, whose friends have been giving him up for dead on a day by day basis for at least nine years, used to hang out with the Chicago crowd during his undergraduate days at the University of St. Louis. He'd skip out of classes every week and start back Tuesday so he'd be back Wednesday in time for his first Monday class.

...expected to inflate prices. His cheerful conclusions came from the fact that his computations showed much larger "warm" and "cold"' savings (war bonds, reduction of short-term debt, etc.) than "hot" ones (cash and demand deposits)* He believes that the average U.S. citizen is going to want to hang on to a lot of his wartime savings, at least until he can find real value to spend them on. His real fear is that industry will unwittingly upset the applecart. His reasons...
