BOOKSHELF

IN THEIR HEADS: The new book "Inside the Economist's Mind: Conversations with Eminent Economists," edited by William Barnett, Oswald Distinguished Professor of Macroeconomics, contains interviews with some of the world's foremost authorities on economics. It offers insight from several former Nobel Laureates, as well as an interview from former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker. The interviews were previously printed in the journal Macroeconomic Dynamics, which Barnett founded and edits. He co-edited the book with Nobel Laureate Paul Samuelson.

NOTABLE ALUMS

KU and Harvard are still the only universities that presently can claim two elected women governors as alums – Kansas' Kathleen Sebelius, who earned a MPA degree, and former Arizona Gov. Jane Dee Hull, an education graduate. However, if Kerry Healy is elected Massachusetts governor in November KU will fall behind Harvard.
