...Ankara, the Turkish capital, Kayseri, the one-time capital of Cappadocia, and Konya, home of the thirteenth century mystic Mevlani and his whirling dervishes. I came to Cappadocia by bus. The Turks probably have the best buses in the world--cheap, abundant, luxurious (plush seats, stewards, T.V., etc.). And fast, Perhaps too fast--Turkey has the highest per-vehicle accident rate in the world...
Ford's week of misadventures and buffeting left his campaign aides confused and rattled; at times late in the week, the President looked particularly grim. Said a campaign official: "We recognize that something has to be done, and fast, but what that something is, nobody seems to know."

Still, Government statisticians themselves warn that poverty figures serve only as relative measures and not hard and fast pictures of reality. The '75 figures, for example, include only money income. They do not include such "in kind" payments as food stamps or the value of subsidized public housing. This sort of benefit increased during the recession, suggesting that the U.S. poor were better off in 1975 than their dollar-income numbers suggest...
