...that there was "evidence" that the dollar's fall had bottomed out. Observed Japanese Central Banker Ohta: "Mr. Greenspan made his remark about ((the falling dollar)) when he was an economist, not when he was chairman-designate. So we do not have any concern about it." In his new vein of bankerly circumspection, Greenspan also declared that the "economy, at the moment, looks reasonably strong and hopefully will continue so for the indefinite future...
Baker arrived at his Treasury assignment with a reputation as the Administration's Great Persuader, earned during four successful years as White House chief of staff. He carried on in the same vein, altering the confrontational tone of his predecessor (and successor as chief of staff) Donald Regan. On Third World debt issues, for example, Regan had preached the hard-nosed gospel of austerity for debtor nations.

In the former, replete with some nasty conversational repartee in the vein of Jackson's "What Have You Done For Me Lately," Lisa Lisa plays a fan attracted to a male singer. The latter, the album's best and most aggressive track, is heavily layered with keyboards and Spanador's (of the Cult Jam) vibrant guitar solo. "I'm not your everyday average woman," Lisa Lisa sings. She tells us she will not be the victim of any relationship, because when you mess with...
