...President highlighted the change in the tone of U.S. policy by enunciating it before the largest possible audi ence. The day before leaving for Australia, Johnson and three television-network interviewers taped a "conversation with the President." The informal session-Johnson's first such TV discussion since 1964-ran for an hour in prime time and was watched by an audience estimated at 52 million Americans...

On the Paris market, volume was so heavy that dealers ran out of gold ingots, had to delay delivery of one-kilogram bars for two weeks. In London, demand reached the highest levels since the week following Britain's devaluation. Nonetheless, dealers remained confident that any conceivable speculation could be met. For all their activity over the past month, private speculators have purchased an estimated $600 million worth of gold-a relatively small drain on the total...
