...last year's news. The Philadelphia Bulletin's J. A. Livingston won the international reporting prize for an economic analysis of the Eastern European satellite nations; the Wall Street Journal's Louis Kohlmeier received the national reporting award for being the first of many to account for President Johnson's personal fortune; Melvin Ruder, publisher-editor of the Hungry Horse News in Columbia Falls, Mont., won the local reporting award for covering raging floods in the Northwest...

The book does all the routine things: it follows cattle drives up the Chisholm Trail, discuses the economics of cattle ranching, tracks down desperadoes, and refights the Lincoln Country War.

Taxes already account for 53? of the 65? that Swedes pay for 20 cigarettes, and Sweden will boost the levy another 8? in July. At 73? a pack (83% of that in taxes), Sweden will still rank below Denmark, where a 90% tax makes a pack of 20 cost 88?, the world's highest price for cigarettes. Swedish officials predict from experience that the boost will bring only a brief and shallow slump in sales...
