This year, by contrast, the market belongs to the farmer. Tobacco auctioneers in North Carolina, where the crop was kept short by the weather, are being forced to ration tobacco at premium prices among customers; in effect the auctions, though performed for custom's sake, are a sham.

Upward Bound, busing, and increased school expenditures do little to increase the economic success of the student, according to Jencks...
