Other first-line schools-St. Paul's (497 students, $46 million endowment), Groton (300 students, $17.7 million), Deerfield (558, $21 million), Lawrenceville (700, $24 million), Hotchkiss (478, $10.4 million), and Choate Rosemary Hall (920, $11.7 million)-have also sought a wider range of students.

Richard Otis, a bricklayer in Memphis, had been thinking about buying a Lincoln Continental, but is now looking at smaller cars. Even without the possibility of increased oil-heating costs, Patty Hotchkiss, a town board member in Bedford, N.Y., is looking for a small, well-insulated house to replace her large, drafty one. But she didn't need Carter to inspire the move; her oil bill for January...
