...Despite the impressiveness of the rise, the market still had far to go before it convinced traders that a permanent turn had come. It had to break out of the narrow "trading range" between 160 and 188 on the Dow-Jones industrial index in which it had moved since the bull market ended in 1946.

...imperious nose resembling a mountain bird's beak, Don Francesco majestically strides along under an immense faded green umbrella; its edges are much frayed by rubbing against the grey stone walls that lean over the narrow, cobbled streets. Shepherds, wrapped in lambskins, and black-shawled women bow low to let the priest's umbrella sweep over them as he sails by. "God be with you, Don Francesco," say the men. "God preserve you and us," say the women...
