Nearly 60% of the gold that is sold ultimately becomes jewelry. In the U.S., it is marketed in shops from Beverly Hills' gilt-edged Rodeo Drive to Manhattan's grubby but thriving diamond district along West 47th Street, where wholesalers are constantly weighing their wares and repricing them as each new twitch in the gold markets alters their value...
...dramatist correctly analyzes himself as "not a speed reader but a speed understander, and a natural-born explainer." He is also a natural-born worker. He never has fewer than three projects going simultaneously, sits down seven days a week at a cluttered desk in his Manhattan apartment and writes at least eight hours a day, banging out manuscripts at a phenomenal 90 words a minute.

Asked if it were true that only three people understood the subject, Eddington jokingly countered, "I'm trying to think who the third person...
...Euroblood traffic began in the early 1970s when many U.S. cities began reducing their purchases of blood from paid donors, often Skid Row derelicts, for fear of spreading hepatitis. To replace these old sources, Dr. Aaron Kellner, director of the New York Blood Center in Manhattan, decided to turn for help to Europe, notably Switzerland, West Germany and Belgium, which had blood to spare because of their different approach to blood collecting...
