Only when Curry took the ball one-on-one to the hoop were the Crimson able to break the scoring drought as she hit on three consecutive drives to put the score at 43-37 with 3:05 remaining...
...main reason for Kirbo's decision is money. In 1975 Carter earned almost $120,000 from Carter's Warehouse, whose annual gross revenues hover around $1 million. Now harder times have come. Drought has savaged the nation's peanut crop, and business at the Carter plant is down 15% from last year. Billy Carter recently valued the business at $3.5 million, which would make the President's share worth roughly $2.3 million. As for an asking price, Kirbo says, "I'm going to get as much as I can.

When the two-year drought first parched much of the country in 1976, farmers cried that unless Washington came to their rescue they faced financial ruin. Congress obliged by making the farmers eligible for easy-to-get, easy-to-repay loans under the Small Business Administration's disaster relief program.

Last summer Woody Diehl spent a lot of time in front of the picture window in the spacious living room of his wood and brick ranch house staring out at acres of corn stunted by drought.

The group also discussed federal disaster assistance for farmers-Diehl himself will be eligible for payments this year-and the Administration's proposed feed-grains set-aside...
None of the new immigrants, however, are as likely to succeed as the more farsighted speculators who are willing to bet on a black-inspired boom to come. The logic is fairly simple: if there is a peaceful transition to nationalist government, then the country's long economic drought under United Nations' sanctions will come abruptly to an end. Real estate, agriculture, tobacco, mining, even tourism-all should experience a quick revival. Companies from Stuttgart to Nagasaki have been sending semisecret scouting missions to Salisbury. "Zimbabwe is going to be the biggest boom country you've ever...
