...chairman, jauntily declared "gave the President everything he asked for, and added some ideas of our own." What Louisiana's Ellender apparently meant was that the bill gave the President the soil bank program (backed by an authorization of $1.2 billion) that he had asked for as a cure for surpluses. But the conference committee had coupled with it an utterly contradictory, surplus-producing, one-year restoration of mandatory supports for five basic commodities (cotton, wheat, corn, rice and peanuts) at 90% of parity...
...whose new 268-page book for laymen (The Truth About Cancer; Prentice-Hall; $4.95) outlines the symptoms and the treatment of cancer. The book's main point: prompt medical checkups at the first sign of such cancer signals as bleeding, unusual growths can easily double the current U.S. cure rate of 25% in 500,000 new cases a year...

When he died, beloved even by the anticlericals, the cure was succeeded by a young ascetic who tried the fire-and-brimstone approach. He did not last long. Letters to the archbishop signed by worthy Clochemerlins made it plain that if they had to choose between the church and their frailties, the church would go empty. The archbishop saw the point at once, and sent them a new cure who could put away wine with...
