...when he announced that the U.S. would stop selling gold to redeem foreign-held dollars. The "Nixon Shock" has already moved moneymen into discussions that would have sounded like sheer fantasy a few months ago. American officials who once proclaimed the majesty of the dollar now cheer declines in its price on newly freed money markets, because they hold the potential for helping the U.S. balance of payments.

Events since then have proved him right. Israel connected Gaza to its electric grid, drummed up potential business and even encouraged tourism to aid the territory. But Gaza's 390,000 residents were-and still are-unremittingly hostile. So far this year seven Israelis and 206 Arabs have been killed...
