The famed Eisenhower grin showed that the President felt quite at home in Washington...

Behind it lay the bitterest blow that Kenya's settlers have yet suffered: a Kenya government proposal to open up to Africans and Asians the immensely fertile 12,700 sq. mi. of the British colony's "White Highlands...

This year market prices are poor. Farm storage space is already so taxed that farmers will have to sell much of their crop in the open market at prices as low as 90? per bu., for the lack of a place to store it. Averaged over three years, the lower prices mean that a 4?-to-6? drop is possible...
