With a domestic grain shortage staring them in the face, and consumers complaining about rising food prices, Nixon and Butz quickly reversed farm policy. Prodded by Treasury Secretary George Shultz, an ardent free marketeer, they proposed a new laissez-faire farm policy that would abandon some price supports and reduce other subsidies. They returned as much acreage as possible to production, dropped export subsidies and prepared to "empty" the Government storage bins. Though they forecast that such moves would cause food prices to level off after midyear, that was not soon enough for irate consumers...
...Roman Catholic priest and an attractive widow. Last fall Laurie Stevens, a program regular, met a newcomer, Father Mark Reddin.

...believe it should alarm people that deprogrammers can operate freely without the intervention of the law. It certainly would arouse college students if a Harvard SDS member were kidnapped and returned two weeks later as an ardent John Bircher. If some 600 young people have successfully been forced to abandon their religious beliefs and convictions, what will hinder this number from climbing many times more? And what prevents the deprogrammers or similar groups from expanding their tactics to political groups? It is important that the authorities intervene today to stop such openly-connessed criminal activity as abduction, unlawful imprisonment...
