economists in EFIB:
(October 29, 2008) CoB News, 29 October 2008 Carter’s Reach Below, USMNEWS.net reporters have inserted
page 1 of the 10-July-08 meeting Minutes of USM’s Council of Chairs. The purpose of doing this is not to
highlight the fact that newly-appointed interim chair of MGT & MKT, David Duhon, missed the meeting, his
first as interim chair. No, this section of CoB News, 29 October 2008, focuses on the comments of another CoB

Carter's "How do We Know?" research presentation is sure to be a topic of conversation in JAG for many years to
come.
