Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
The Bloomberg story below about the lawsuit filed against
Morgan Chase by its insurers may remind you of the
great courtroom movie quot;The Verdict,quot; in which only one
witness tells the truth and yet her testimony is stricken
from the record on a technicality. But, as in that movie,
sometimes the truth comes out anyway, and there is justice.

There lives an old man at the top of the street,
And the end of his beard reaches down to his feet,
And he's just the one person I'm longing to meet,

And he asks about this, and explains about that,
And at night he puts on a big wide-awake hat
And sits in the writing-room, writing.
