If Soviet leaders are serious about their promise to produce more meat, the Russians will almost certainly become long-term grain customers for American farmers. China has started buying U.S. cotton for the first time in 20 years. The Europeans, and especially the Japanese, show signs of enjoying a large part of their higher paychecks on their plates, making them promising customers as well...

It was in their silent ambivalence towards him that Frazier, lying with his face in cotton gauze in a hospital after the fight, must have first found the tracks of a stalking demon. It must have then crossed his mind and reared the haunting possibility that no matter what else he did, Joe Frazier would never be anything more than a white hope in black-face on the black...
