...returning home from a party with a few friends. A full moon lighted the park, and suddenly we saw a stocky man in a long overcoat talking to some birds. He was saying, 'Please talk to me, speak to me. I must hear your music, I must have it.' When the birds flew away, he would chase after them for a few feet, crying to them all the while.

...complaints about noise in the U.S. cannot be handled by existing legislation, Baron claims. Few states and cities have restrictions on noise, and the Federal Government only last July took its first small step toward quiet. As a condition of getting or keeping federal contracts, companies must follow new Department of Labor rules controlling excessive noise in factories.

If prices kept on rising during the 20 to 40 years that investors often must wait for full repayment of principal, investors eventually would get back dollars worth much less than those they originally lent. Meanwhile, interest rates would keep on climbing-to levels that might make even today's yields look piddling because lenders would demand even higher returns to keep ahead of prices. (Some mortgage lenders now grumble that they are "stuck" with loans made years ago at interest that seemed high then...
