...disaster out there." "The plant I has depreciated enormously." "There are shortages just about every place you can think of." Comments like these from members of the intelligence community suggest that no other Government agency is in such urgent need of rehabilitation as the CIA. The agency has even fallen behind in its technology: top officials say that it does not have enough spy satellites. Its analysis has often proved faulty, most notably in Iran.

If the Soviet winter-wheat crop this spring is as poor as expected, Soviet economic planners may face the uncomfortable choice of increasing costly grain imports from Canada, Argentina and Australia or trimming back further on cattle herds and poultry flocks. That could mean years of less meat for Soviet consumers, a prospect that should cause some concern for Kremlin leaders. While Soviet citizens are hardly as restless as the Poles, it was last summer's meat shortages and price hikes that touched off the worker...
