...gorge rose immediately after reading your Feb. 25 article on patriotic tax songs or "The 1040 Blues." The sample jingles you quoted just about finished me. We have enough solid corn without the Administration deliberately choking us with more. If this kind of approach is tried on me (I always pay my taxes on time), the IRS can go to hell, and I will plead insanity from incessant and uncontrolled brainwash technique. The thought that they even entertained the idea is disgusting...

But only at her first appearance, coming-with snow on her picture hat-into a restaurant filled with ghostly elegance, to dine alone, to struggle with asparagus and be rebuffed by corn, to clip a lobster's claws and dip gloved fingers in a finger bowl-only then does Lillie achieve a definitive grandeur de folie, or the Follies recapture the grandeur that was Rome...
...Buttressing his opinion were some hopeful facts. Hog and cattle prices are better than last year; the broiler industry appears to be overcoming a surplus problem, and dairymen are producing and selling more than last year. The Government's price-depressing hoard of surplus wheat, cotton and corn is slowly being whittled away. And this year farmers are eligible for $1.2 billion in soil-bank payments...
