...farm output after 33 years of curbing it. Twice this year, Washington has increased its price supports for dairy products, and it is now asking farmers to plant 10% more rice, 15% more wheat. For lack of grain to store, Cargill, Inc. last month closed its largest elevator in Buffalo. With India consuming a quarter of the U.S. wheat crop this year, as against a fifth last year and an eighth five years ago, U.S. wheat stocks now stand at a 14-year low of just over 15 million metric tons, not enough for adequate protection against a domestic crop...
...diehards have never succeeded in rustling the U.S. cavalry scout's body out from under all that concrete thoughtfully poured by Colorado officials,* but this summer they have managed to bring the feud to something like a draw with an authentic re-creation of the Old West featuring "Buffalo Bill's" own collection of Western painting. Not to be outdone, the Denver Art Museum has mounted its own vivid exhibition of frontier days.

Last week at Akron's Firestone Country Club, Al Geiberger, 28, won the big gest prize of his seven-year pro career -the $25,000 P.G.A. championship - and announced that he owed it all to peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwiches...
...Revelation. Disgusted with the world, the author invents another one. He sets it on campus, a familiar locale to Barth, a 36-year-old State University of New York at Buffalo professor who is a favorite of intellectuals because of his earlier books, notably The Sot-Weed Factor. His world is New Tammany College; it is under the official aegis of the Founder (God), author of the Old Syllabus, and of his son, the Grand Tutor, whose system for passing the finals (death) is no longer valid, and who is known as the Shepherd Emeritus...
