...many respects When She Was Good represents a departure about as shaking as a sonic boom. Philip Roth repeats some of his old themes, but his story is about Lucy, a Midwestern girl living in a small Midwestern town.

Assistant Treasury Secretary Robert Wallace insists that there is little reason for a boom "from a supply and demand standpoint," since Government sales should cover the difference between the 40 million oz. mined and the 160 million oz. that will be used by industry this year. But the bulls, pointing out that Government stocks will be exhausted (except for a strategic reserve) next year though demand will continue to rise, look for silver to go as high as $3 per oz.
