Demand for gold has intensified so much lately that for the first time in history, it outstrips the amount newly mined. This intensifies the gold shortage, which aggravates the U.S.'s immediate difficulties. Gold is exceptionally difficult to mine, and most U.S. miners find that the price of $35 an ounce is too low to pay them to dig it out. In fiscal 1967, only $1.4 billion worth was unearthed, but $1.7 billion worth was bought by industry, jewelers, dentists and speculators.

...perceptible in Redding's style. Redding recorded a Version of Little Richard's 1956 hit, "Lucille." His first professional job was as lead singer for Johnny Jenkins and the Pinetoppers, though he never had a hit in association with them. His first success was with "These Arms of Mine."

Cheetah also uncovered the "first great mass producer of LSD," a University of Virginia drop-out named Augustus Owsley Stanley III. Operating in a way that might have made a financial success of Edgar Allan Poe, Owsley married a sensuous U.C.L.A. chemistry...
...Boston El., later as U.S. Rubber Co.'s labor troubleshooter, and from 1947 to 1952 as the Government's top peacemaker-the hulking (6 ft. 7 in.), Canadian-born lawyer ironed out countless labor spats with such dogged patience that even John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers couldn't hurry up "Ching and his damned pipe." Both of them worked overtime in the post-war labor climate bringing about settlements, including accords in 1948's two coal strikes and 1949's crippling steel walkout...
