...Farm Flap. Many uncertainties still loom over the course of the talks, and the fear is general that France may yet torpedo them over the problem of common tariffs for European agriculture. That fear was heightened last week when Italy announced that it is reluctant to agree to standardize feed-grain prices before 1970 because that would inflate Italian food bills.

With Goldwater as President, the Southern states can use a few of their rights at long last, and with a few extreme measures get those agitators (the live ones, that is) out and get their society back in order. I'm for a man who lets the people take care of their own problems in their...
