plaques proclaiming, quot;Ici est tombe....quot; They mark spots
where members of the Resistance fell during the street

South Africa's AngloGold is being tipped as the most
likely suitor for Normandy Mining, the Australian gold
miner that has recently seen its share price strike a
five-month high on takeover speculation.
Despite suggestions that AngloGold is not so hot on

quot;Ah! tenez, vous etes de la merde dans un bas de soie.quot;
With this much quoted insult Napoleon concluded his
famous tirade against Talleyrand in 1809, an outburst

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
It will not surprise you that gold was thrown back from
its $290 perch once again today. This is becoming
pretty tedious and so obvious. Does no one in the gold
industry have enough moxie to say something about the
gold market manipulation? I have said it many times
before and will say it again: Never before has an
entire industry been led by such wimps.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
It was a long trip back today to Dallas from Paris and
the Financial Times gold conference, and it is 2 in the
morning France time, so this will be short and sweet.
Tomorrow I will begin to cover the conference for you.
I think it was a big plus for GATA in all respects.

In the 104 years since a defiant William Jennings Bryan
delivered his fiery quot;cross of goldquot; speech before the
Democratic National Convention in Chicago, not much has
changed. Gold's role as an economic linchpin, a store
of value and medium of exchange remains hotly debated.
