True Believer. Hess's nonconformist life-style leaves him plenty of time for thinking and writing. He offers no excuses for his philosophical flipflop, which he sees as a natural response to the growth of big government in America. "It's not just the war," he says. "I'm as opposed to the welfare state as I am to the warfare state. The Government is doing everything that the Declaration of Independence said you should resist," he says. Like the British, the Government "is sending hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their...
...nowhere in news rankings, leaped into contention for first. Within three years, WLS in Chicago has been able to quadruple its news commercial rate to $2,900 a minute; WABC in New York has enjoyed a remarkable 30% increase in billings since 1968. With that sort of financial flipflop, the CBS-owned Manhattan rival to WABC installed a jazzy new set two weeks ago, shed one anchor man and adopted a slightly folksier style.

His present company, he pointed out, is not necessarily better than the one he brought to Covent Garden in 1952. It is just that London balletomanes, long raised on dance with a heavy dose of story line, have lately come to realize, says Balanchine, "that you don't need the lousy little stories. They say Balanchine is a neoclassicist. They put you in a position where you are not, and then they can't comprehend when...
...soil bank and to Government farm price supports and controls. This spring Harris watched in strong disapproval as county soil bank authorities offered farmers $145 an acre not to plant cotton. Then, Harris put his whole Pima County farm in the bank. Explaining his apparent flipflop, Farmer Harris says: "I wanted to show how silly, and how unnecessary, this whole thing is." He also saw a chance to turn a huge profit...
