...gold bust is bad news for developing countries. The IMF puts the profits from its gold auctions into a special trust fund to aid poor nations; now the trust fund will be leaner than expected. The price collapse also poses problems for countries like France, Italy and Portugal, which hold a large proportion of their monetary reserves in gold.* It is even embarrassing to West Germany, which two years ago lent $2 billion to Italy against gold collateral-valued at what then seemed a ridiculously low $120 an ounce...
...declare his candidacy, and the money would have started pouring in from well-heeled liberal well-wishers. Four years ago, that might have worked. But now the fat cats have been cut off-unless they want to break the law. The lean cats are growing scarcer and leaner all the time.

With that addition, the cycle of the stratified-charge engine remains quite similar to the sequence in ordinary internal combustion engines: 1) As the piston descends, a rich fuel mix from one carburetor is injected into the small combustion chamber near the spark plug. A leaner mixture, from a second carburetor, is squirted into the rest of the cylinder. 2) Moving up, the piston compresses both charges, pushing back most of the richer mix that may have seeped into the main chamber. 3) The spark plug fires the rich mix. 4) The rich, burning mix ignites the adjoining...
