...composed partly of inferior-quality and broken grain, or contaminated by dirt or moisture. Last week a delegation of European grain company officials were in Washington to press similar complaints. American farmers and dealers alike are angry and anxious for an end to the problems. "We produce a good, clean product," one Iowa soybean grower told that state's Democratic Senator Richard Clark. "I'll be damned if we're going to let petty bribery, sloppy work and greedy exporters throw it down the drain...
...occur far from the country elevators where they sell their crops. Grain is not officially inspected until it reaches New Orleans, Houston or other ports. There inspectors' employed by private agencies but licensed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture grade the grain and also certify that ships are clean enough to carry it in their holds. Altogether, USDA has licensed about 3,000 inspectors, who earn an average salary of $10,000 a year; their relatively modest incomes are often supplemented by overtime wages and seasonal bonuses.

Needing a birdie on the par-three ninth hole one day to salvage a tie, Sims boomed a pitchout toward Woodward Avenue. The ball hit the fence, ricocheted back and fell into the cup for a win. The Rev. Floyd Moore resorts to higher tactics. "You know I love the Lord...
...wasn't used to this stuff--I grew up a couple of miles from Shea Stadium, named for a hotshot New York lawyer, ultramodern, no bleachers. General Admission filled with clean-cut cheerful-looking kids whose mothers encouraged them to play at Little League, but just so it didn't interfere with their schoolwork. I got my wallet stolen, once, and my program lots of times--but after all I never really scored properly, S's for singles and O's for outs, so that seemed only fair, apart from the thieves' being bigger and stronger than I was.
