...hoarders and speculators, gold lately has had about as much luster as a rusty tin can. In the 19 months since gold purchases became legal for U.S. citizens, the price has fallen more than 40% from its peak of $198 an ounce. In three chaotic days of trading last week, gold fell $14 on the London market, reaching a 31-month low of $105.50 an ounce. Though the price recovered to $111 by week's end, that is still a dismal figure for goldbugs, who not long ago were forecasting prices of $300 or more...

The second edition, cast against a chaotic background of Sarmiento's own public life, serves as a vehicle for the statesman's ideas about education that were influenced by the American Horace Mann.

Lennon, in the meantime, had met up with Allen Klein, a free-swinging wheeler-dealer who once sent out Christmas cards with this greeting: "Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, because I'm the biggest bastard in the valley...
...pool usage has increased since the first chaotic day of the plan. But many Californians are convinced that the diamond-lane plan is a disaster, and several Los Angeles-area officials have attempted to repeal or modify the program. The California department of transportation seems determined to prove that the diamonds are forever. The department proudly claims that it now takes at least two minutes less to drive 12.5 miles of freeway than it did before mid-March. California motorists concede that this may be true. But they point out that it now takes longer than ever to get onto...
