The only twist here is that the article from which this summary is derived appeared in the August 29, 1976 edition of The New York Times.

Although the writer of The Times piece did not yet know it, the bottom for gold had been established four days before his article was published. Few realized at the time that the real economic pain of the 1970’s had (to paraphrase The Carpenters 1970’s hit) ‘Only Just Begun’.”
