Gems by Mail. Demand for diamonds has overrun the supply in the last few years, largely because producers do not want to exhaust their uncertain sources at the mines, and dealers like to keep the prices in the way-up-there brackets.

As the white car approached a school bus and slowed again, the win dows flew up and the children in side chanted: "Mustang! Mustang! Mustang!"
