...place of suffering and expiation, where 40,000 Rwandan Hutu like Joseph Havamungo, 29, and Nereciana Mushankwano, 20, wandered amid the huts strung together of relief-agency donated blue plastic sheeting, trash-can fires and hastily dug pit latrines and sought to scavenge the one thing that could sustain life in this place: hope. They were between countries. Host Tanzania didn't want them, and if they returned to Rwanda, they feared Tutsi would seek revenge for the genocide perpetrated by Hutu extremists just two years before.

There is general consensus that the economy cannot sustain its current level of growth, which is at the gaudy 5 percent-plus level, and needs to be nudged back down to about 3.5 percent. There is, however, a considerable contingent on the Street that wishes Greenspan would deliver the lumps all at once. While Greenspan argues that the gradual approach will allow for a "soft landing" at a sustainable economic growth rate, this group believes that the gradual rate increases are being ignored by the public - a state of affairs that could...
