Writing eight years ago about antitrust cases that came before the Supreme Court, Justice Potter Stewart grumbled: "The sole consistency that I can find is that . . . the Government always wins." His implication was that the high court's liberal majority, then headed by Earl Warren, would strike down any corporate merger that federal trustbusters challenged on any grounds at all. Lately, however, the court, now including four conservative judges appointed by President Nixon, among them Chief Justice Warren Burger, has been shifting to a considerably more permissive view of mergers...
...playing at the Performance Center this weekend. These guys put out a lot of nice but dull records; they only really shine in person. The group leans mostly toward a countryish sort of tune, always cleverly conceived and masterfully carried out. They've been working pretty often with Earl Scruggs in the past couple of years and they've learned their lessons from the old banjo picking wizard.

In a deliberately mixed-up metaphorical exhortation to consumers, he exclaimed: "Now is a whale of a good time to stock your home freezers with beef...
...ever, the experts found. To bridge the gap, McGovern recommended that the U.S. set up a $20 billion "Plowshares for Peace" program that would build stockpiles of food for needy nations to draw on. That is another idea that seems unlikely to be adopted: Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz, who will present the Nixon Administration's proposals for solving world food problems to an international conference in Rome in November, has already turned thumbs down...
