...wonders of Alice Walker's The Color Purple or Toni Morrison's Beloved or Gloria Naylor's Linden Hills were discovered by myself outside the classroom. And for this reason there was always a huge void in the body of knowledge that was presented through my literature classes.

But farmers have plenty of political clout, and troubles in farm credit could spread to other parts of the financial system. In congressional testimony last week, Agriculture Under Secretary Frank Naylor stopped short of proposing, as some White House advisers have suggested to the President, that the Treasury extend a $3 billion line of credit to the FCS. Instead, Naylor said that the system should use the surplus funds of its healthier lenders to assist its beleaguered banks and associations. Naylor...
