Sproul, president of the New York "Fed" for 15 years, became known as the most powerful of the regional chiefs and a frequent dissenter from the Washington Board's policy. He resigned because of health (stomach ulcer). Successor Hayes, who calls himself "deplorably obscure," is described by his banker peers as brilliant...
