Some clinics will close if they know they are going to be hit, so Operation Rescue has made appointments at a number of the clinics, relying on cancellations to tell them which targets are unavailable that day.

The falling prices could put even more S & Ls in jeopardy by undermining their outstanding real estate loans.
