Rocky Robes. If Sukarno is ailing, he is certainly in no worse shape than his country. Food prices continue to soar. An egg that cost 2 rupiahs in Djakarta in 1961 now costs 170 rupiahs. In the past four months, prices have risen 50%. Sukarno is still grabbing for instant cures. When he was in North Korea recently, he was told that the Communists were making cloth from stones, and he has ordered his own experts to turn Indonesian rocks into textiles...
Efficient Hens. As if that were not enough, Schulte is also taking on the German farmer, one of the country's most powerful political blocs. Tempted by the backward production and marketing practices of egg producers, he bought a chicken farm last February and started applying his methods to the hens.

There some 2,000 farmers and their families in the Saxon market town of Cloppenberg stood stolidly as the Chancellor launched into his basic campaign theme for 1965: the need to develop in West Germany a formierte Gesellschaft, meaning a well-ordered society, with equal restraint on government regimentation and private "stomach filling and greed." The Saxon farmers interrupted Erhard neither for catcalls nor clapping, but they chuckled each time he lit another Black Wisdom...
