Sign-language experts, however, reckon that it could take Lang as long as five years to master the abstract concepts necessary to stand trial. To that end, the judge ordered the Department of Mental Health to come up with a special educational program for Lang. Beaming over the judge's decision, Donald Paull, one of Lang's lawyers, flashed a victory sign to his client.

Since the monetarists reckon that it takes six to nine months for changes in the money supply to have an impact on the economy, they found it natural that business hit an air pocket in the late summer. Many other economists, notably liberal Democrats, pointed their fingers at the decline in the growth...
