...uncannily convincing suggestion of deep space that contrasts sharply with the roughness and irregularity of the paper he worked on. Here the torn edge of an envelope, there a line of writing peeking through a light gray ground, serve to continually interrupt the depicted illusion and assert a stubborn physicality.

Growth is relatively robust, despite high energy prices, fears of a housing bubble and spots of stubborn unemployment. This time Greenspan was betting not just that the good news would prevail but also that America might soon confront the risk of renewed inflation. Greenspan is fond of noting that his job involves the study of how human beings react to a continually changing economy. "If we judge that...
