A graduate of a Moscow foreign-language institute, Kauzov is fluent in French and English as well as his native Russian. He had been sent to Paris as a representative of Sovfracht, the Soviet ship...

But the value of the Swiss franc rose to an alltime high of 1.75, and the price of gold surged to a record $201 an ounce on frantic trading in both London and Zurich...
