Unchecked, this trend could set off a series of reactions that would run through the world, canceling out many of the EGA-inspired recovery gains of the last year.

...prices and qualities considered attractive." So far the price cuts on many things had not been great enough to coax out the "strong underlying consumer demand." And despite the drop in commodities and the general business recession, many an item in the cost of living was not following the trend. For example, meat, which had dropped, had gone up again.

Prices set by the sculptors ranged from $125 for a baby bear by Muriel Kelsey to $24,000 for Spring Stirring, a compact carving in black diorite by California...
