...have forced the traditional surplus-producing nations to curtail the amount of food that they normally give as aid to the hungry nations. For example, unless the U.S. adopts an expanded program, American aid this year will drop 50% in some categories. Sales of food are also shrinking. Argentina, Brazil, Thailand, Burma and the Common Market nations have restricted food exports. Several weeks ago, President Ford blocked the sale of some 10 million metric tons of grain to the Soviets and is permitting them to buy scarcely one-fifth of that amount. Ford feared that massive sales to the Soviet...
...Jones, and Merritt could not come to terms with the team's owners, an unwieldy ensemble of 32 citizens, including Motown Singing Star Marvin Gaye. Instead of Merritt, the Wheels hired Dan Boisture, coach at Eastern Michigan University. The Wheels also brought in a defensive coordinator, David Brazil, who, one Wheel player reported, had coached his high school team to a 0-7 record. Worse still, the team could not use Tiger Stadium because the Lions held exclusive football rights there; the Wheels had to play in Ypsilanti, 35 miles from downtown. Finally, the public stock offering owners...
...racing horses (among them Assault, 1946 Triple Crown winner). When drought threatened the King herds in 1917, Kleberg painstakingly began breeding Indian Brahman bulls with Texas shorthorns to produce a new and hardy breed, the Santa Gertrudis; their toughness enabled him to expand to such forbidding pastures as the Brazil ian jungle, Australia's outback and the plains of Morocco. Well into his 70s, the gauntly handsome, gimlet-eyed centimillionaire rose near dawn to ride herd with his feudally loyal vaqueros, lassoing calves and searing them with the King Ranch's running-W brand...
...Recife, Brazil one morning two weeks ago, military police arrested Frederick B. Morris, 40, a stringer (part-time correspondent) for TIME and the Associated Press. Taken to a military prison, he was held incommunicado for three days before being allowed to talk to a U.S. consul and unreel his tale of horror: while shackled to the door of his cell, he was subjected to a 32-hour stretch of unrelenting beatings and shocks administered through electrodes attached to various parts of his body. Reports of torture in Brazil's military jails have circulated for a decade, but Morris...
...moral perspective of U.S. foreign aid to Chile is not unique. It is reflected in U.S. support of dictatorial regimes the world over, from Brazil to South Vietnam. However, the concern for human rights shown by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and Ambassador Popper is unique. As such it should be supported and echoed by Americans of all political persuasions who feel that torture and political imprisonment are wrong. It is time the U.S. stopped supporting regimes that must torture and murder to sustain themselves. Chile is a good place to start. The Congress should reject last week's vote...
