Shortages account for the immediate jump in farm goods. Agriculture Secretary, Earl Butz and other farm spokesmen, argue that America's increasing appetite for meat and other farm products has kicked up prices. On the other hand, many economists contend that the Government's elaborate price-support policies have contributed substantially to high food costs. Thus, the controversy over food prices, which will be a prime campaign issue, is also likely to bring into question the whole program of subsidies to agriculture...
...Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz left Moscow last week after an unprecedented 90-minute talk with Soviet Party Leader Leonid Brezhnev, he characterized the conversation as "warm, frank and friendly." For once those diplomatic clichés seemed apt. With President Nixon's visit scarcely a month away, Brezhnev, who never before has talked so long with an American official, was making a major gesture of cordiality toward the U.S. He also was emphasizing Moscow's desire for a big increase in trade with the U.S.-a desire that Washington shares...

It is an honorable enough trade, as massively practiced on Martin Luther King Jr. and James Earl Ray by Gerold Frank, who seems to have graduated from his role as a semi-disembodied ghostwriter for actresses. Delving into all the details and mysteries that still surround King's murder, Frank presents evidence, conflicting reports, false leads, rumors, opinions and untruths in more or less the order in which...
