...works for the wrong, whether he's a 'superior' white or a Negro." Romans 1:25 excoriates those "who changed the truth of God into a lie"; this becomes, in Jordanese, "These wise guys swapped God's truth for an outright lie." 1 Thessalonians 4:3 states: "For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication."

Amex ordered 650 member firms to "discourage excessive speculation-particularly in volatile or low-priced stocks." It gave brokers until month's end to report what steps they have taken to tighten sales procedures and warn customers of the dangers.
