Frightfully Interesting. Poet John Betjeman, for example, paid tribute to his stuffed, 60-year-old ursine friend "Archibald Ormsby-Gore" in his work Summoned by Bells ("Safe were those evenings of the pre-war world/When I turned to Archibald, my safe old bear").

But the rise in rates and the concurrent drop in bond prices have speeded up enormously since the current inflation began in 1965-and especially this year. Last week, for example, the New Jersey Turnpike Authority sold $137 million worth of bonds at a tax-free interest yield of 7%, compared with a 5⅞ yield on bonds that it had sold four months earlier. Interest rates on high-grade corporate bonds are threatening to go above 9%. The yield on bellwether...
