Though he said anti-American sentiment is strong in Nicaragua, he assured the audience that American poets from Walt Whitman to Robert Frost were well-loved in the country...
...northwest, meandering through a series of small towns. It's dark at 1 a.m., and every dip sends car and driver down into the fog. But in the long, open stretches before Yarmouth, the moon is out, and clouds skid across its face. It's a good Maine road--frost heaves, of course--and it could be almost any place in the Pine Tree State. It could run just out of sight of the ocean up past Damariscotta and Pemaquid.

Says Ed Grady of the state's farm bureau: "Our concern is that the frost may penetrate the ground more deeply than it would with a snow cover," thus damaging crops planted this winter. "This is about as dry as I can remember," observes Eldon Merklin, an Oklahoma farmer who planted 1,200 acres of wheat last month. "I had to plant some...
