...that Lundberg seems to lack is some international swimming experience which he gained at the Games while learning that "international competition is not all glamor and glory; you're still a regular guy when you go on a trip...
...brisk trade has caused supplies to dwindle, bringing shortages that inflate prices even more. At the International Monetary Fund's regular monthly gold auction on Wednesday, there were bids for 1.6 million troy oz., but only 444,000 were available.

Brian (Graham Chapman) is just a regular guy. He has a domineering mother, basically cowardly nature and no messianic complex whatever. But circumstances force him into contact with, among others, a lisping Pilate, an underground revolutionary group that spends more time in ideological debate than in overthrowing the Romans, and all sorts of people who think they require a savior...
