...would disagree with Moore that the nation's fiscal problems need attention. Yet the point at which the U.S. can no longer defend the price of gold -and thus the dollar-hardly seems near. Although the U.S.'s gold supply has fallen far from its $24.6 billion peak of 1949, the nation's gold pool partners and its creditors throughout the world are not at all anxious to bring down the present monetary system by drawing out the remaining U.S. supply.

...both carriers' Concordes, the Anglo-French SST that will be rolled out publicly next week in preparation for 1971 delivery. Eastern will probably also service the Boeing SST when it becomes operational in 1974.

Now, drawing heavily on his Metronome files, he has packed all he knows about the peak of swing (1935-46) into an encyclopedic volume, The Big Bands (Macmillan; $9.95). Like the zealots of whom and to whom it speaks, the book is cheerfully biased, sometimes repetitive, often superficial-and just as often stirringly evocative of the fervid period when so many groups (Simon mentions some 450) "swung freely...
