Gold's gyrations are the Dow Jones index of anxiety
EVERY ART has its social commentator. Comic strips have Doonesbury and music has Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson. Listening to a Scott-Heron/Jackson album is an educational experience unrivalled by the "education" obtained from such sources as the makers of Dow Bathroom Cleaner, your local Emmy-award-winning eyewitness news team or your favorite daytime game show.

At week's end it was moving in a narrow range just above 800, but nobody could be sure it would hold there.
