Oddly, consumers could get some initial benefit from the drought. As the prices of corn and soybean feeds rise, farmers are bringing cattle, hogs and other livestock to market early, causing a temporary glut that could help to keep meat prices down-at first. By next winter or spring, though, that oversupply will be exhausted and meat prices probably will rise with a vengeance. There are some signs, too, of a revival of the panicky export buying that in the past has done much to push up U.S. food prices. Foreign buying so far has been no more than moderate...
Objectionable as the game glut is as a phenomenon, there are a few bright -or at least less dim-spots on the schedule. The new Bill Cullen show, Winning Streak, is a kind of beardless Scrabble that becomes brain-busting when contestants try to make words of more than five letters with thousands of dollars in earlier winnings on the line. Split Second requires three participants to answer hard three-part questions. Concentration calls for the ability to do just that. The idea is to remember the prizes hidden behind numbers and match two of them to win the object...
...Emphasis. To cut the dollar glut, the board of directors announced in June 1972 that it would spend $30 million "for the study and treatment of hearing and speech disorders in children" at nearby Creighton University...
...Supreme Court, in Miller v. California, laid down one more set of guidelines for legislators and prosecutors dealing with illegal obscenity. The hope was that by using those guidelines, local judges and juries, exercising local standards of taste, would be able to dispose of a vast and growing glut of pornography cases. That hope was short-lived. Merely by considering the case of Jenkins v. Georgia, the court was, in effect, admitting that it had yet to find an escape from its unwanted role as the nation's chief censor. Once more the Justices found themselves reviewing a movie...
Most cheering to consumers-and worrisome for farmers-is the conversion of last year's meat shortage into a glut, as a result of heavy production and a continuing reluctance by budgetconscious housewives to buy meat as freely as they once did. Prices of live hogs have dropped as much as 29% below a year ago, and cattle on the hoof are down 15%. Financially pressed feed-lot operators indeed claim that they are being forced to sell cattle for slaughter for $150 to $200 per animal less than they paid to buy and raise the same steers...
