...they drive customers like the Soviet Union to other, more reliable suppliers. But few farmers can still contend that the embargo seriously hurts their profits. Indeed, the outlook for the American farmer has seldom seemed brighter. Prices have been rising fast, and the market for U.S. grain continues to expand. Says Agriculture Department Analyst Paul J. Meyers: "The long-term trend is for growth in the export trade and for relatively higher prices." Meyers predicts that the U.S. will export 1.53 billion bu. of wheat in the current fiscal year, compared with a record 1.38 billion last year. The average...
...banks looking for ways to expand their business have long been restricted by some archaic federal laws. Unlike almost any other enterprise, they have been prohibited from doing retail business outside their home state. Such rules would be similar to decreeing that General Motors could only sell cars in Michigan or that Pillsbury could only market cake mixes in Minnesota.

He argues that the system now traps the poor in a cycle of dependency but cannot be radically altered. Instead, he believes that it must be gradually changed through tougher eligibility standards and work requirements...
...School, for example, enrollment fell from a prebusing total of 300 students to 272; all but 66 are bused in. The Marquez School's rolls are down from 732 to 349. Wilson Riles, state superintendent of schools and a black, is gloomy about those figures. "If community schools expand very much, the public schools will become schools of paupers. I don't think these schools were meant to be an elitist thing, but it could develop into that." And, in fact, Dave Thomsen has already contacted the local school district, hoping to rent one of the nearly vacated...
