Gold trades at levels not seen in two decades
LONDON, May 26 (Reuters) - Gold traded at levels not seen since 1979 on Wednesday as market sentiment worsened and dealers said they expected bullion to move even lower.

"The trend is obviously down, people will be selling rallies," a dealer said.
Who was the dealer?

Reluctant Clinton changes mind on possible invasion of Kosovo

<< LONDON -- U.S. President Bill Clinton is now ready to consider a full-scale ground war against Serb forces in Kosovo, sending as many as 90,000 U.S. combat troops into battle if no peace settlement emerges within the next three weeks, according to highly placed sources in NATO.

''Nowadays, everything happens with incredible speed -- because of the breakthroughs in science and technology and the expanded means of communication,'' the pontiff said at his weekly audience in St. Peter's Square.

''It is therefore natural to question what humanity's destiny is and what its final goal is,'' he said.

The pontiff, who turned 79 last week, told the hundreds of pilgrims who assembled in the square on this perfectly sunny day that the tension surrounding the ''final event'' must be faced with ''calm hope.'' >>
