By week's end, after three full days of trading in the yellow metal, gold's price stood at $174 per ounce on the bellwether London Gold Market, down 12% from the high of nearly $200 set just before...
...should sit if he and the mother of the bride are divorced. (Beside his new wife in the third pew behind the mother of the bride.) Married four times, Vanderbilt continually revised her book to reflect society's increasing informality, but she believed strongly that "only a great fool or a great genius is likely to flout all social grace with impunity...
