...countries where culture is supposed to be bankable? Thank God! That's what makes it unique! You mention L'Auberge Espagnole as a symbol of the renewal of French cinema, but that was five years ago. The Taxi movies? Yes, they were blockbusters, but they were also the lousiest films made by Luc Besson. His artistic achievements were Nikita, Subway, Le Grand Bleu and Léon - and those were years ago.

But within those averages lurk vast annual variations. Under F.D.R., year one produced a 66.7% gain. The market's lousiest annual return ever--a 52.7% loss--occurred in the third year of Herbert Hoover's Administration. So you can lose your shirt betting the cycle will repeat itself...

Gramm is often compared to the late John Connally, another brash Texan with a gift for gab. Yet that comparison ill serves Connally's reputation. Connally was the lousiest of candidates (his $12 million run for the 1980 G.O.P. nod netted him only one delegate) but nobody ever described him as too small for the presidency, which is exactly how many who know Gramm speak...
