...would take a man with a big ego to try to manipulate the nation's investors--and every indication is that Granville meets that criterion. He told the Boston Globe in an interview last fall that he would use his "sell signal" sometime this winter, and use it he did. And the thought that he had sent the stock market plunging did not bother Granville; indeed, he seemed to relish the notion that he and his friendly indicators had "read" the market.

...barbarians": I think Reagan was expressing sentiments that an overwhelming majority of Americans feel. But he was also sending a diplomatic signal. If there was any doubt, the Iranians now know that they won't gain anything by toughening their bargaining stance or holding back on something.

Earl Bruce's Buckeyes, led by signal-caller Art Schlichter, did not live up to pre-season expectations. Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions (love that nickname) fell to archrival Pittsburgh, spoiling an otherwise superlative schedule against a slew of talented teams. Both sides can salvage up a little bit of pride. Truthfully, they'd rather be in Pasadena and New Orleans. Ohio State 32, Penn State...
