...into production on even a modest farm has shot up to at least $40,000 - a sum that few farmers starting out could obtain. Just as the Government now offers special aid to "small" businesses grossing several million dollars annually, it should do more to encourage the flow of young blood into productive farming by helping qualified ag school graduates obtain credit. Such a plan would offer a fighting chance to families who are passionately attached to farming as a lifestyle...
Nixon's economizing is clearly a reflection of sharply changed attitudes toward science and technology; the public is no longer willing to accept an almost unlimited flow of tax dollars into such seemingly impractical schemes as a manned mission to Mars and the construction of giant new atom smashers. Instead, many Americans want scientists to turn their energies and ingenuity to the solution of pressing national problems-pollution, say, or the inadequacies of mass transit and the spread of drug addiction. Indeed, the same pressures have also come from some scientists themselves, especially the young radicals who have been...
...execution, however, the play caves in. In this theater of non-sequitur, a wonderful sense of the bizarre often drives the play: the audience stays poised to see what new strangeness is in store, because anything can happen.

The politicians promptly sued for libel, but even the cautious...
William was crying and kicking two hours after surgery. The next day, he was not producing enough bile, so a medication which enhances bile flow, cholestyramine, was flown from the U.S. to Tokyo for him. The output of the baby's digestive tract by late January showed that he was producing bile and that it was being used in the metabolism of the special formula that he was receiving in addition to mother's milk. Last week he was strong enough to make the long trip home...
