...Freeman explained it, he was merely defending the Great Society against "aggressive, go-for-broke special interests." Specifically, he was battling for a new, cash-enriched farm bill whose most controversial provision was a 50?-per-bushel increase (to $1.25) in the special subsidy paid to farmers for high-grade domestically consumed wheat. The only snag was Freeman's notion that wheat processors should subsidize the increased subsidy by paying the entire 500 increase themselves...
...times, shot four robbers, and helped arrest twelve others. And that, as Cousin Joe, the erstwhile Yankee Clipper would agree, is pretty good clipping.

...highest salaries go to top U.S. executives, who are required by law to report them, along with bonuses and stock holdings. G.M. Chairman Fred Donner leads the list, with a pre-tax figure of more than $800,000 from salary and stock and cash bonuses. In fact, the ten highest-paid executives in the U.S. are all in the auto industry, including Chrysler President Lynn Townsend (salary plus cash bonus: $555,900) and Ford President Arjay Miller ($515,912).
