As early as 1671 Gottfried Leibnitz sought unsuccessfully to invent a mechanical calculating machine. "It is unworthy of excellent men," he wrote, "to lose hours like slaves in the labor of calculation."

The U.S. is in no mood to relax its restrictions on the 22 "developed" nations-including all of Europe as well as Japan and Australia-because it is continuing to lose gold. The nation's gold supply dropped another $250 million last week, bringing the year's loss up to $825 million and the stock at Fort Knox down to a 27-year low of $14.6 billion...
