...thought it couldn't get any better, by God it did," gushed Robert Froehlich of Kemper Funds. Why the excitement? The jobless rate stayed steady at 4.9 percent, when most analysts had been forecasting a fall. No new jobs, of course, means less wage inflation, and a nicely tepid economy for all. Money Daily has the details...
...Fair's most disarming delight--her smart, laughing, 30-minute set began with a few dozen people watching but ended with several hundred, who gave her a standing ovation.

They left behind messages that read DIE NIGGER and DIE NIGGER LOVERS. White isn't too thrilled with Tennesseans' tepid response to Inner City's rebuilding campaign, nor is he happy about insinuations by government agencies that the church itself was involved. What does please him, though, is the support he has received in Wisconsin. So far $300,000 has been raised in the state; one child sent in 99[cents] taped...
