The US Dollar Ain't What It Used To Be

Ouch! From the NY Times article on 30 Nov:
"the pound climbed to $1.9661 in afternoon New York trading from $1.9462 late Wednesday in New York, marking its strongest showing against the dollar since September 1992, before Britain crashed out of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism."

Is it so wrong to pray for another crash? I'd take a mini one.
