Greenspan assesses crisis
WASHINGTON — Federal Reserve Chairperson Alan Greenspan told Congress yesterday that the Persian Gulf crisis had piled "new and substantial risks" on an already faltering national economy.
The Associated Press
In an assessment of U.S. economic prospects, Greenspan said the jump in oil prices since Iraq's invasion of Kuwait on Aug. 2 had increased the threat of both higher inflation and a recession.
Private economists said Greenspan's pessimistic comments reflected the tough choices facing him. Normally rising unemployment and other signs of sluggish growth would prompt the central bank to slash interest rates in order to spur demand.
He conceded that the Federal Reserve's job of promoting non-inflationary growth had been made more difficult by the unfolding events in the financial crisis. The Fed said it still had the tools to mitigate the economic fallout.
But the chairperson of the central bank rejected suggestions that U.S. economic policy-makers were in effect being held hostage by Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.
But, while increasing the money supply, this measure probably would lead to an increase in prices. And the oil price shock also has put the country in the grips of its worst bout of inflation in nine years. Consumer prices are climbing at an annual rate of 6.2 percent.
Financial markets had been eagerly awaiting Greenspan's first report on economic conditions since the Persian Gulf turmoil began. But for the most part they reacted with disappointment as the Federal Reserve chief seemed to dash hopes of a quick move to lower interest rates.

Band finds success a welcome change
The ironic success of "We Don't Do That Anymore" hasn't slipped by David Slutes, co-author of the song and singer in the Arizona-based rock band Sidewinders. Slutes is 27 years old.
ALBANY, N.Y. — One of the most popular songs on college radio stations these days is a partly fond, partly unsentimental look back at youth from a man who's feeling his age.
The Associated Press
"If anything, they shouldn't relate to that at all," he said. "All the classic rock stations should be playing it for the older people."
"We Don't Do That Anymore" is a hard rocking take on aging, a subject rock 'n' roll hasn't treated with particular grace in the past.
The tempered idealism of the song is an apt metaphor for the Sidewinders' own career. Slutes. Richard
It's a tale of a group of college friends who stay up all night and enjoy life, dreams and things on our mind." Advance a few years later to preoccupations with jobs and rent, and it's time to move on. The next past are past for Slates and his friends.
"You look back and say, 'My God, I miss those times,' he said. "But you also look back and say, 'Thank you, I'm not doing those same things.'
Hopkins, Mark Perrodin and Bruce Halper realized a dream when RCA offered them a contract. But they're finding there's a lot of hard work — and no guarantees — involved in becoming a rock 'n' roll success.
That work recently involved networking at the New Music Seminar in New York City and their four appearance at a rock club converted from a hamburger stand in Albany, N.Y., thousands of miles from home. Veterans of the punk rock scene in the city, the Sidewalkers are trying to make it as a hard-earned, traditional rock band - dislaining the heavy metal scene and the studied weirdness of many college radio

Sidewinders aren't doing their own growing up in the obscurity that characterizes many similar bands.
The band financed its first album by itself and expected to record on tour before anyone in the "big leagues" noticed them, Slates used. Instead, RCA signed them after seeing the band at a music showcase in Austin, Texas.
"Auntie Ramos' Pool Hall"
named after a place near where the band rehearses back home, the Sidewinders' second RCA album.
"We're growing as songwriters and players with every album," Slutes said.
