Meanwhile, all currencies would have "wider bands," meaning that they could shift up or down by an additional 3% or so from their official parities, depending on supply and demand...
...knighted last year for his philanthropies but is still better known in the film trade as "the High Priest of Horror." It was the One Million Years B.C. poster of a barely wolf-skinned Raquel Welch, not her grunting rendition of the femme sauvage part, that led to her wider exposure...
