...Finance Minister Paul Ramadier's artful policy of "dipping the thermometer in cold water." The index is based on the Paris price of 213 commodities which include tennis balls, long underwear and iron stewpots, but do not include gasoline or green vegetables (up 33% in the past year).

But this means that those enlistees who go to college must drop a term, and those beginning careers will also be seriously inconvenienced. The NGA's proposal of a compulsory eleven-week basic training session...
