...Gold fever!" cried the London Daily Express. For a change, the fever-pitched Express was not exaggerating. In a stampede of investors and speculators anxious to exchange U.S. dollars for bullion, gold prices took off last week on their most spectacular rise since London's gold exchange reopened in 1954. Starting at just over $35.25 an ounce (about the same as the U.S. price of $35 an ounce, with transportation and insurance added), gold prices broke free of their old ceiling at week's beginning, jumped to $35.65 for the biggest one-day advance in the exchange...

Colonel Mobutu, complaining of fever and frazzled nerves, seemed mainly content to send occasional squads of his troops through the streets to remind everyone of the "neutrality" that he had imposed on all the others...
Died. Dr. Ernest William Goodpasture, 73, top U.S. pathologist and longtime Vanderbilt University Medical School professor, who in 1931 first propagated viruses in chick embryos and thus pioneered the large-scale production of vaccines against yellow fever, influenza and typhus, but never patented the process that otherwise would undoubtedly have earned him millions; of a heart attack; in Nashville, Tenn...
