...care for its symbolism: Warm Springs, Ga., where Franklin D. Roosevelt often visited and where he died in 1945. In his address, Carter will argue that only someone who has not been in Washington for most of his adult life?as Ford has?can provide the new ideas and fresh vision demanded by the times. Carter also plans to go this week to Chicago, where Mayor Richard Daley is whumping up a mammoth torchlight parade to spark a drive aimed at capturing Illinois and its 26 electoral votes...
WELLS COLLEGE (515 women; Aurora, N.Y.). At the 1972 Democratic Convention, Frances Tarlton ("Sissy") Farenthold, fresh from a defeat in the Texas gubernatorial primary, was nominated for the vice-presidential slot on the McGovern ticket in a symbolic gesture by the Women's Caucus. Her being chosen as the first female of Wells' thirteen presidents, however, was anything but symbolic. The school, which has a modest endowment of $8 million, needed someone of note to help boost sagging enrollment. On the job since March, Farenthold, 49, has made this fall's entering class the largest...
...trouble is that since consumers prefer their chicken fresh (only 8% of broilers are frozen), the birds cannot be shipped any great distance to market.

...like Europe!" trilled one gleeful opening-day shopper, as venders with pushcarts barked out bargain prices for avocados and melons, farm-fresh eggs, Cheddar cheeses, 100 different kinds of pasta and bushels of other items. Actually the scene was not the old Les Halles in Paris or the Campo dei Fiori in Rome, but the Quincy Market, a huge, copper-domed structure in Boston, just a cod's throw from the famous old Haymarket. Last week the once-dilapidated Quincy Market reopened after a massive renovation to serve its original purpose: a central market for city dwellers...
Tasty Prices. Shoppers welcome the trend as an alternative to cellophane-wrapped tomatoes and other supermarket fare. Says Russell Wichterman, a Detroit importer: "At the market I can pick every tomato, every ear of corn and every potato myself and know it's all fresh." The prices are tasty too. Because there is no middleman, farmers can sell their produce at prices one-third to one-half less than in supermarkets. At the Greenmarket last week, a dozen ears of sweet corn sold for $1, as did 4 Ibs. of fat tomatoes. At a nearby supermarket, the same package...
