...change, claimed its backers, would let wheat compete with corn as a feed grain, and weed out inefficient wheat producers. But chances are also good that the wheat states' big commercial growers would sow record crops if freed from controls and promised $1.30 for every bushel, thus adding to the bulging surplus...
...which a moral evil may be foisted on the public." Denounced by the U.S. Catholic hierarchy was "a systematic, concerted effort" to build support for the use of U.S. public funds "in promoting artificial birth prevention for economically underdeveloped countries."

Catholics, they continued, "will not support any public assistance, either at home or abroad, to promote artificial birth prevention, abortion...
...conservative, generally illiterate peasants of Asia or Africa to learn and adopt such techniques will, as Sen admits, require years, perhaps decades, of effort.

To make matters worse, inflation is a major threat, largely because of higher bonuses and wages that factory chiefs have been allowed to grant on their own initiative. Bungling Warsaw planners pegged meat prices so low that workers, with extra money to spend, ate more and more. At the same...
...type of bank that emerged from the maelstrom, a new type of banker was needed. One of the new bankers was Henry Clay Alexander. He was not saddled with the marks of wealth, caste and privilege. He was born in humble circumstances, the son of a grain and feed merchant in Murfreesboro, Tenn. He did not attend the best Eastern prep schools, had worked his way through Vanderbilt University, saved enough to go on to Yale Law School. He had not been trained to be a banker, joined the Manhattan law firm of Davis, Polk, Wardwell, Gardiner & Reed...
