...crisis was the remnants of my bag lunch; it was beginning to leak. Since I couldn't bring myself to eat any more of the wieners then, I was forced to throw them out. It was like putting a little bit of Ralph Cahaly in the trash can at Maverick, one of the best stations in the whole system, by the way. I liked it so much (partically because it was a free switch) that I went there 15 times during the day, frequently shuttling between Government Center and Maverick three times in a row.

Today's prevailing belief, however, is a hybrid; most economists now consider themselves "Friedmanesque Keynesians." Having risen from maverick to messiah, Friedman ranks with Walter Heller and John Kenneth Galbraith as one of the most influential U.S. economists of the era. Heller, who was chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers under President Kennedy, has whimsically classified Friedman's supporters: "Some are Friedmanly, some Friedmanian, some Friedmanesque, some
