...seems to be concerned more with myth than with fact. Hispanics are not a sleeping giant, as the media like to portray us. We are intelligent, hard-working people who seek to advance through cooperation, not through intimidation. If we are indeed giants, it is in our will to succeed. We are giants in our humanity, giants in our love for our country and our commitment to the culture that binds...

And while no final decision was made last week, Volcker became the odds-on favorite to succeed himself. The only other serious contender is Alan Greenspan, 57, a frequent adviser to the Reagan White House and once Gerald Ford's chief economist.
