Another study that Time chose not to cite found in 1970 that 22 per cent of the U.S. food supply is produced by corporate farmers and by contract. The American Agriculture Marketing Association predicts that by 1985 corporations will control 75 per cent of our food supply in one of these two ways.

Though he had pressed the Carter Administration to do everything it could to help him secure the open support of Jordan and Saudi Arabia, Sadat chose to interpret the latest dispute as mainly an argument between Washington and Jerusalem over the timing of the Saunders mission. He was not anxious to break off negotiations, as he had done during the talks in Jerusalem last January. But on Friday the Egyptian government announced it would call...
