What Others Think Cheap Money Costs
For the first time public attention focuses on interest rates and the easy money policy's effect on the economy.

The plan would shift local regions to county or regional boards and faces likely opposition from colleges and the university. Superintendent Callahan has long supported modernization, albeit amid caution about political will.
