...Gold. The market's rise is based largely on hope. Says Peter Vlachos, Dreyfus Leverage Fund's manager: "The market is now anticipating that the Administration's reflationary measures will work, that full employment will be restored, and that inflation will not return to its former gallop." Investors figure that if the economy continues to lag and drag, the Administration will have to reduce taxes (see page 82). Sifted through this kind of faith, even leaden news is transformed into gold. Investors even took an optimistic view of last week's report that the industrial production...
From this point the plot moves at a gallop, but it is really only a stalking-horse for the author's polished mockery and his gallery of fantastics. Catholicism corrupts, he clearly thinks, and churchliness corrupts absolutely. Every plot, from Anna's murder to Arthur's adultery, has priestly blessing. Farragan's ultimate betrayer, his wife, is a seemingly saintly lady who spends her passion on canonization drives for violated virgins...

Perhaps it is a characteristic of the new "road" pictures. In which case, the star should have known his fate. After all, he did it first...
...become a member of the Tom Gerun band. A few years later, he joined the old Isham Jones band, and when Jones dissolved the group in 1936, Woody reorganized it as "the Band That Plays the Blues." By the early 1940s, he was ready to gallop with the Herds. For the past 24 years he has spent only about six weeks a year in the hilltop Hollywood home overlooking Sunset Boulevard that used to belong to Humphrey Bogart. The rest of the time he is on the road, playing 200 or more concerts a year, taking his wife Charlotte along...
