What has been happening to the farmer is a painful but not yet critical adjustment from a decade in which a voracious, war-stimulated world appetite demanded all the food that the U.S. could produce at whatever price the buyer had to pay.

All roads into West Berlin are blocked except two strictly controlled highways, and the city is ringed by the rifled steel of East German Volkspolizei and divisions of the Red army. Each day precisely 13 freight trains, 17 barges and 500 automobile trucks loaded with food, fuel and raw materials for West Berlin stomachs and factories are allowed to enter from West Germany.

Peter Larkin's attractive sets are often amazing bits of engineering, and Director Morton Da Costa has polished the show to precisely the right roughness...
During his first full year at National Tea (which operates under the name National Food Stores), McNamara boosted sales from $107 million to $158 million, profits from $913,000 to $2,900,000. In 1953 he squeezed out First National to make National Tea the nation's fifth largest supermarket chain. Last year, when sales reached $520 million, profits $6,500,000, the company became the tenth largest of all retailers...
