...invasions, inflations and devaluations views gold as a safer haven than any paper money. Men die to dig gold out of two-mile-deep mines and then bury it in hermetically sealed vaults because, when all other currencies fail, gold can buy anything, anywhere. Particularly prized by political refugees, nervous dictators and indulgent sugar daddies, gold is eternal, objective and anonymous. Says U.S. Economist Sidney Rolfe, a 24-carat expert: "To an American, 100 shares of Xerox represents security. To a European, gold is security...

Nervous, with his face showing the strain, he said he hoped the war could be "terminated"--he spoke almost throughout in military jargon.

Reporters and correspondents across the country tapped their business sources for that story, with an important part of the reporting being done by the Washington Bureau's Juan Cameron, whose beat is economics as it relates...
Explaining the Gap. Chief among the direct causes of infant death are respiratory malfunction, low birth weight, premature birth, and congenital malformations of the circulatory, digestive and central nervous systems. Some of these factors are genetic, and irreversible. Thus there is a limit beyond which infant mortality cannot be reduced. Nonetheless, 320 U.S. counties have achieved a lower rate of 18.3 deaths per 1,000 births. Poor maternal health, malnutrition, inadequate sanitation and illegitimacy, predictably most prevalent in low-income communities, are also important factors. In Holland and Denmark, which have had a virtually uninterrupted decline in infant mortality since...
