Spreading Ripples. Some influential U.S. bankers have been prodding Washington lately to drop its insistence on the price fixed for gold in 1934. That heresy prompted rumors in Paris that the U.S. would embargo further sales of its gold. Two weeks ago, in a Senate speech, New York Republican Jacob Javits added to the doubts by urging that the U.S. pull out of the London gold pool, stop selling gold to foreigners on demand, support the dollar by buying and selling foreign currencies as other countries do. (The Treasury promptly denied any such intention.) Then there were reports that South...
What did not subside was the suddenly overwhelming pressure on Rockefeller. Upon landing in Washington minutes after the Romney announcement, Rocky was engulfed in a fog bank of conflicting advice from fellow Republicans.

So Richler finds humor in the way Jacob Shalinsky, messianic editor of an obscure journal called Jewish Thought, hounds Mortimer with the wily accusation that he is really a secret Jew. And he finds rich irony in the fact that a svelte Negro beauty, who craves Mortimer's body, insists on a pay-as-you-go arrangement in order...
