Khrushchev's tentative itinerary includes New York and Chicago, stops in Iowa, Texas and California-where Vice President Nixon will greet the Russians in his native state. Khrushchev announced that he would probably accept an invitation from Farmer-Businessman Roswell Garst to visit his corn farm at Coon Rapids, Iowa. Explained Garst, who met Khrushchev on a trip to the U.S.S.R.: "He's primarily interested in raising corn so that Russia can raise more livestock. And we know how to raise corn...

...their shots went wild, but sometimes a snipe hit home. After "Checking the Press" exposed the high incidence of identical Citizen and Dispatch stories, the Citizen began rewriting pressagents' handouts. With considerable Tightness, Franken and Grove pointed out that a football game for charity (Philadelphia Eagles v. Chicago Bears), sponsored by the Dispatch and the Columbus Ohio State Journal, cost Ohio taxpayers $60,000 more than the take...
