...reducing its silver prices by 10% this week because "raw silver prices have come down." At the same time the new down trend does signal a long overdue end to a two-year boom in raw-material prices that has contributed heavily to the global price spiral...
Sunny Side. On page after page, Wallenberg repeats the refrain that is his definition of progress: "It is better by far than what it replaces." Focusing on the sunny side of modern society, he minimizes the clouds by looking only at their silver linings.

All the canons of Byzantine style are there: the liturgical stateliness of form, the encyclopedic richness of ornament and material (gold, silver, precious stones, enamel), the sublime monotony of pose and gesture by which the human figure was depicted only as the dwelling place of a thought or a doctrine, the flat mantle of peacock colors, the linear arabesques. An ivory carving like the 10th century Apostles John and Paul-their long...
