...however, prevent it from getting into hungry mouths. The first is the income distribution. Rich people always use more food than they have to, especially in places where fat is a status symbol. Every pound of meat an American peace corpsman or Bengali professor buys takes seven pounds of grain off the market. This, of course, pushes the poorest of the poor below subsistence, towards death. With an equal income distribution, Bangladesh's food needs could be thirty per cent less than they are today. Even today, however, everyone might be well fed (or at least fed adequately) if there...
...should we have any more concern for New Yorkers [Sept. 8] than they have for us? Chances are the grain growing around Kankakee puts food on New Yorkers' tables, and the pet food or the Sears appliances they buy were made here.

Gromyko gave his blessing to the current U.S. effort to negotiate a long-term grain agreement that would end the Soviet practice of plunging disruptively into the U.S. market whenever Russia's own harvests run short. Moscow is, in fact, ready to sign an agreement to purchase between 5 million and 8 million tons of American grain annually over the next five years and allow much of it to be shipped in U.S. vessels at a favorable rate-$16 per ton instead of the current...
Several different recordings of "Too Much of Nothing" were made at these sessions, but there are others available on bootlegs better than the one Dylan chose to release on this album. Dylan is most effective when he sings against the grain of the instrumentation, as in "I Want You" from Blonde on Blonde where he rarely hits the same notes as the melody line. (This partly explains why nobody sings Dylan songs like Dylan; Joan Baez, for instance, seems obsessed with proving to us that she can hit every note when she's supposed to, not understanding, as does Dylan...
