Volcker's preferred entertainment is watching sports on television with a beer in hand. Once, when meeting a colleague at a Swiss nightspot, he put off the waitress until their conversation was completed. Then, never having ordered a drink, he complained that the prices were unjustifiable, and stalked out. The money world hopes he will be just as frugal with the American dollar...

Prices have gone wild on Sardinia's ritzy Costa Smeralda, where, at one Porto Cervo nightspot, a dish of ice cream costs $7.50 and a dinner tab of $175 a person is paid without a wince. "Porto Cervo is just one big slot machine," says one bemused American tourist. "Nobody cares."
