Hemingway, Hounded by the Feds - NYTimes.com
"Decades later, in response to a Freedom of Information petition, the F.B.I. released its Hemingway file. It revealed that beginning in the 1940s J. Edgar Hoover had placed Ernest under surveillance because he was suspicious of Ernest’s activities in Cuba. Over the following years, agents filed reports on him and tapped his phones. The surveillance continued all through his confinement at St. Mary’s Hospital. It is likely that the phone outside his room was tapped after all.In the years since, I have tried to reconcile Ernest’s fear of the F.B.I., which I regretfully misjudged, with the reality of the F.B.I. file. I now believe he truly sensed the surveillance, and that it substantially contributed to his anguish and his suicide."
An interesting question: how would you help a friend who was paranoid *and* right about it?
Unsurprisingly, I have an answer for my hypothetical question. When I want to help someone, I play to my strengths. I harmonize, in the Aikido sense.

How a Fund Helped Make Gold Prices Glitter - WSJ.com
Oh look, "Ocean's 14" practically writes itself:"Ben Davies, chief executive of London-based Hinde Capital, which oversees a gold fund, noted that GLD's bullion isn't insured. If the gold "is lost, damaged, stolen or destroyed," the trust "may not have adequate sources of recovery," according to the prospectus.
Mr. Toussaint said the council believes HSBC's security measures and the bank's other liability coverage provide protection. "That's the whole reason we put it in a vault in the first place," he said."
