...problem is that in the "gold-exchange" system nations pay for most of their global commerce in gold or dollars, and the U.S. is pledged to sell its gold bullion for any paper dollars that foreign central bankers turn in. Moreover, the U.S. guarantees the official price at $35 an ounce. Because of its now familiar balance of payments deficits, the U.S. has papered the world with its dollars, creating plenty of calls on the nation's gold stock. Since 1957, U.S. gold reserves have declined by almost half, to less than $12 billion, and foreign claims...

...sublime moment in The Nude Restaurant where an idealistic peace-nik turns to the magnificent Taylor Mead and says, "All war protestors are beautiful." Mead, who thinks of war protestors as so many warm male bodies, grains at the camera and says, "Not necessarily." The double-meaning here is central to Warhol's cinema, as it reveals the ease with which two people can escape one another completely. In Warhol's films, people talk at one another, strive for self-definition and expression, and are either too emotionally bombed-out to succeed or else posses too weak a vocabulary...
