...balance of payments was in deficit and the free price sank to $35 or less. The I.M.F. would pay the official price of $35 and could then resell the metal to central banks. The deal would provide a floor under the gold price, and something of a ceiling as well. Since the I.M.F. would buy only a little gold, South Africa would have to sell most of its metal on the free market, and that would tend to hold down the price...
...other publications. An unclothed, deadpan model looks out from under the slyly provocative headline: "Relax. And Enjoy the Revolution." The product is Cupid's Quiver, a $3.50 package of twelve sachets of liquid douche concentrate that is offered in two floral scents (orange blossom and jasmine), as well as two flavor scents (raspberry and champagne).

Hecht was invariably sodden with sentimentality except when he wrote with a collaborator-as in The Front Page. In editing Gaily, Gaily, Jewison has played a latter-day Charles MacArthur to Hecht's Hecht...
...Redskins learned another bit of Lombardi orthodoxy as well: Make your own breaks. Against Philadelphia, Defensive End Carl Kammerer belted Quarterback Snead so hard in the end zone that the ball popped loose. Rookie Lineman John Hoffman dived onto the ball for a touchdown as the 'Skins went...
