...parts of yourself in Experiencing Youth. (If you're one of the Harvard students who helped write it, by writing a term paper for Social Relations 1910 or 1520, you have to remember only as far back as the academic year of 1968-69.) Unlike most of the current crop of youth market books about what it's like to be young, gifted, and relevant in the U.S. of A. today, most of the "cases" collected in this book are anything but sensationalizations of the unique characteristics of the current adolescent generation.

Economist Simerl reckons that because of lower prices the total cash value of the record corn crop might not be much higher than that of the 1970 harvest...
...bought wheat from Canada and Australia, a move that caused concern among traders in Chicago's market. Any large-scale retaliation by foreigners against U.S. farm goods would be painful. It would lead to lower farm incomes, and to make up for them, bigger Government crop subsidies-paid for by all U.S. taxpayers...
