Obviously, in a free society, farmers cannot be forcibly herded off the land -though former Budget Director Kermit Gordon has estimated that there are upwards of 2.5 million farmers who "do not now and cannot in the fu ture be expected to operate successful commercial farms." In any case, while the number of farms and of people living on farms in the U.S. has already declined by one third since 1955, surpluses continue to pile...
...Maigret has solved more than 60 book-length cases to date, has yet to win a mass following in the U.S., despite his fine ear for Gallic nuance and a geographer's eye for locale. One enterprising reader, 1965 Harvard Graduate Roy Cobb, recently rediscovered Sax Rohmer, whose Fu Manchu books, he predicts, are a sure bet for rediscovery-at least by the camp set.

The finalists: bowlegged, two-time Champion Chuang Tse-tung, 23, a student at Peking's University of Physical Culture (one of few schools in the world that gives a degree in Ping-Pong), and Challenger Li Fu-jung, 22, who resembles a pint-sized Gregory Peck. Li was the crowd favorite. Often laying back as far as 20 ft. from the table, he brought gasps of astonishment from the crowd of 8,000 as he casually returned smash after smash, biding his time until he uncoiled...
