Moved PermanentlyMoved PermanentlyFortune Investor DataFew expect Greenspan to do anything drastic like actually raise rates; the current guessing game is about which way he'll lean in his inaction. A so-called tightening bias would mean Father Fed has his finger on the rate-hike trigger -? which of course, to the markets' pricked-up ears, will be a strong signal that the Fed is taking inflation seriously again. That itself may be enough to push up rates on the Street, and indeed, such a virtual rate hike may be just what Greenspan has in mind to cool off the economy...
...YORK: It probably won't be a Black Monday, but after Wall Street's market movers get through stewing in their juices this weekend, expect something like charcoal gray. The Consumer Price Index was way up Friday -- the 0.7 percent hike was the biggest since the Gulf War -- and by close of day the Dow had shed 194 points. Now investors have two days to read the papers, look ahead to the Fed's interest-rate confab Tuesday and wonder: Is the best news on inflation behind us?

One of the council's primary roles is to dole out grants to student groups. But these groups, already under-funded, have been exploding in number. A $20 term-bill increase would double the council's budget and provide an estimated extra $100,000 in student group grants...
After watching a few rounds of music lessons, home-baked goodies, and a mountain hike, we decided to drop by the Eliot auction for comparison. To our disappointment, we found a rather staid group of bidders. The auctioneers sported tuxes and bidding proceeded in a prim and proper manner. The massive dining hall seemed sparsely populated and certainly much quieter than its counterpart in Kirkland. I've been told there were several kegs of beer and its partakers in the backgrounds, but clearly they were merely bystanders in an otherwise refined performance...
