Gold settled at a record high of $833.50 an ounce in New York
trading Wednesday as the dollar's decline and oil's record surge
caused inflation-wary investors to seek stability in precious
metals. The previous high was $825.50, set Jan. 21, 1980, or
$2,128.09, adjusted for inflation, according to the Minneapolis Fed
Calculator.
Who knew Americans dig Old English on the big screen? "Beowulf"
earned $28.1 million this weekend, besting the box office and
obliterating other new releases.
There's an old saying that suggests we shouldn't meet our heroes.
They're better kept at a distance, where the warts don't show and
the tarnished spots don't dim the luster.
