...years in Tha Pra, Alex Johnson has introduced the country's first silage system, taught sanitation, farm management, building construction and irrigation, brought high-yield corn (50 bu. per acre) from Indonesia, improved pasture and foliage, showed his charges how to use commercial fertilizer, planted grain and sweet sorghum, introduced the Velvet bean and the cowpea (for soil improvement). In his own acre-plus garden he demonstrated to once dubious Thailanders that pineapples and bananas can be grown well in poor soil, even cultivated tomatoes, collards, okra, eggplant, yellow squash, sweet corn and lettuce...
Saving Grace. Their determined serenity is sometimes derided; says Cole Porter: "I could spot Dick's songs anywhere. There is a certain holiness about them." But with serenity goes an unfailing professional competence. In Flower Drum-Song they do not shrink from such corn as a hula-hooping little girl and that ancient scene about the Chinese maiden who does not understand Western kissing; but there is always a saving grace of humor or taste, or at least professionalism. As their own producers, they ruthlessly cut their favorite songs or scenes if they detect that alarming rustle of inattention...
...corn-bread-and-collards country around Greensburg, Ky., farmers have known they were sitting on top of oil ever since the first oil was found in a saltwater well in 1828. But geologists and oilmen insisted it could not be produced commercially; too much water was mixed with the oil. Almost the only man who doubted the experts was Milton G.

A snaking strip of Green County land running 15 miles east...
...Nikita Khrushchev's desk was an ear of American corn, sent him by a U.S. seed company. On the nearby boardroom-type table were two bottles of mineral water: one from the North Caucasus, one from the South Caucasus. Khrushchev, wearing two Orders of Lenin medals on the left lapel of his dark suit jacket, waved his visitor to a chair at the table, took another for himself. "What," he asked, "would you like to discuss?" Replied Minnesota's endlessly ebullient, hardheadedly liberal Democratic Senator Hubert Humphrey: "Many things." And for 83-hours last week Nikita Khrushchev...
...middle class are typically on display in Guadalajara (pop. 560,000), the once sleepy colonial capital of Jalisco state. In humming factories on the grassy hills around the city, men, women and machines make textiles, copper tubing, shoes, mattresses, Nescafe, paper bags, fertilizer, matches, glass, plumbing supplies, corn sirup, and the oils of cottonseed, peanuts and sesame. In the city are the concrete skeleton of a high new medical center, a sprawling new market, the circular sweep of a new sports arena, the glassy modern blankness of expensive new houses in 16 separate real estate developments...
