...dependence on Middle Eastern crude, and proximity creates a natural market for Mexican exports. By helping to meet the U.S. demand for oil, Mexico could acquire the capital it needs to modernize its economy, thereby offering its impoverished masses the chance for a better life. But, riding a wave of nationalistic feeling at home, López Portillo has made it clear to Washington that Mexico's response to America's energy needs will be dictated by a) his own country's special interests and b) the resolution of other nagging issues that cloud U.S.-Mexican relations...

The difference was that the sensitive radio antenna array discerned two jets of material that seemed to be shooting from one of the quasars...

That, along with rumors of especially heavy orders for gold from buyers in the Middle East, stirred a wave of panic buying that pushed the price of bullion up by a record $24 an oz. in just one day.
