...Shastri's miss-a-meal campaign is one part of an official food-conservation program. Another was an appeal to farmers to grow two crops a year instead of only one-or three instead of two.

Some companies (Honeywell Inc., American Express and Jersey Standard, among others) try to fill the gap by giving their retired chief executives and directors a base for new activities; they provide them with office space, but it is usually segregated...
Welland's early plan to work these sophomores in with the experienced upperclassmen has resulted in four lines of approximately equal merit. Once the collegiate season starts, he will revert to three lines, though all 12 forwards will see action at some point in the juggling that the addition of five new players makes inevitable...
