...cotton subsidy program, which costs $500 million a year, is just one blade of the scissors that the textile industry finds itself caught between. U.S. foreign policy is the other. More than 50 countries have virtually embargoed U.S. textile imports by one means or another. Japan last year exported 135 million yds. of cloth to the U.S., but permitted U.S. imports of only 490.000 yds.

But if no one has ever accused Auerbach of being a popular coach, no one questions his success. In twelve years under Auerbach, the Celtics have never...
...large, his public ignored the Frost who quarreled with the world. They knew and praised instead the Frost who was a praiser of country things-the joy in swinging birches or treading leaves, the ornery bite of a grindstone against an ax blade, the road not taken, those woods lovely, dark and deep. For readers who like to shake a poem as children shake a piggy bank until the coin of meaning jingles out. Frost had pots of jingly messages. "Good fences make good neighbors." he said, and many a listener never noticed that he contraposed this with: "Something there...
