From the air over Illinois one can see the giant cultivators, drawn behind tractors, gently stirring the earth between the rows of new corn. It is a consuming drama between a farmer and his land. Building more than 50,000 cars and trucks a day, as auto workers did last week, is a noisy creation that tends to squeeze out idle thoughts of the political campaign. And with wages at $6.57 an hour, the workers are enticed into weekend recreation rather than Jerry Ford rallies. Last week the National Park Service estimated that there were 9 million campers and sightseers...
Gian-Carlo Menotti's latest opera, The Hero, opens in a modern bedroom that has been decorated as a tourist attraction. To the right sits a fourposter. It is roped off and its curtains are drawn. In the rear is a stand displaying souvenir dishes and postcards. Also on sale are toy replicas of a man in bed. Two tourists, a husband and wife, enter the room. The proprietress announces that the admission is $2 each. Replies the man: "Two dollars! Shit!" Leave it to the man who brought opera to both Broadway (The Consul) and film (The Medium...
...contest was as strictly controlled as the production of a Chateau Lafite.

To Americans, who are more familiar than most with the concepts behind antitrust law and the idea of corporate disclosure, parts of the code may seem elementary or oddly archaic. Yet in many areas of the world these concepts are little known. Hence, in a sense, the OECD code...
...professes to be surprised by all the fuss. "There's nothing to get excited about," he told TIME Correspondent Eileen Shields. "I think it will all work out." How could a market professional like Simplot, at 67 a veteran of half a century in the potato business, get drawn into such a mess? The biggest factor was the volatility of the May potato-futures contract. From a low of $5.92 per 100 Ibs. of potatoes in February 1975, when trading in the May contract began, the price zoomed to almost $20, dropped back to $8, went up again...
