...that the week had to offer came the following day. It was his 58th birthday, and he celebrated it in the way he likes best-down on the ranch. Temporarily relaxing her watchfulness over her husband's expanding waistline, Lady Bird set a birthday table that included barbecued beef, baked beans, two cakes and homemade peach ice cream. "No hill-country rancher could ever have a better birthday," said the President. "I just can't feel sorry for myself...
Today the tiny wool-and beef-producing nation offers so many giveaways (among them: full-pay retirement at 55) that Uruguay is all but broke. To pay its burdensome bills, the government has simply printed more money, run its foreign debt to more than $500 million, and created a galloping inflation (up 85% last year) that has triggered a string of crippling strikes and demonstrations...
Died. Robert H. Friedrich, 76, professional wrestler, known as "Strangler Lewis," a Wisconsin farm boy who started throwing his beef around the ring at the age of 14 when he weighed 200 lbs., grew into a 270-lb. behemoth and, with fearsome mien and paralyzing headlock, crunched foe after foe in the days before the "sport" abandoned all pretense of honesty, losing but 33 of his 6,200 matches in a 44-year career-which made him one of the highest paid athletes, with earnings of more than $4,000,000; of complications following a stroke; in Muskogee, Okla...

The prices are higher than those now paid in the relatively efficient farming countries of the Six, France, Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg, and lower than those in Germany and Italy. For instance, the minimum price for sugar beets will...
...pure, pastoral setting. Unlike so many of his colleagues, though, Bowman was determined to turn his dream into reality. In 1960, he went into debt to buy an abandoned 67-acre farm in Washington County, Va., an area known for antique shops and country hams, hurley tobacco and beef cattle, spoon bread and purple, mist-hung hills. Five years later, at the age of 39, he decided "it was now or never." He quit U.P.I., moved his wife and three children to the farm, and took a job writing editorials for the Bristol (Va.) Herald-Courier, the nearest daily paper...
