...testimony, Volcker sought to reassure both those who worry lest the Fed overreact to the monetary growth and those who fear that it will do too little. He acknowledged that the Federal Reserve has been tightening over the past six weeks, and hinted that it will continue to do so. But he denied that the Federal Open Market Committee, the central bank's policymaking arm, had decided last week to clamp down hard on money.

...nuclear debate. Long a champion of arms control, he dismays supporters of the nuclear-freeze movement by saying in effect not yet, not now. Long a critic of new weapons systems, he confounds opponents of the MX by reluctantly finding it needed, at least for now.

Choose a major in one of the sciences and fill out the rest of the schedule with "Mickey Mouse" subjects, lest your cumulative average slip below Aminus. Go! You are in. At med school you will spend 30 to 40 hours a week at lectures, and as many more studying. But do not plan on actually grasping the material; there is no time to do more than memorize for exams...
