...gold can be perilous. Says Clayton Yeutter, president of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, a leading gold futures market: "As the price enters the stratosphere, the risks become extraordinary. If you look over the edge from here, it's a long way down." Even if there is no great plunge, the small investor especially can find himself paying more than he figured for his bullion. When buying or selling coins, for example, dealers commonly add a charge amounting to 5% or more of the market price. Thus someone who bought a Krugerrand when gold was at $380 last week would...

Charles' personal life is no improvement on his professional...
...Assistant for National Security Affairs and as Secretary of State to Nixon and Gerald Ford, he helped cast to a remarkable degree the policies, goals and international achievements of the Presidents he served. From the moment he left the Government, it was clear his memoirs could offer an extraordinary look at those turbulent times. Now, Henry Kissinger has completed the first volume of those memoirs, and the work is as discerning, engaging and in ways as controversial as the man himself. TIME will excerpt White House Years (Little, Brown; $22.50, in three parts, beginning on the following pages and continuing...
