Even the most black-thumbed city slicker could hardly fail to grow a bumper harvest of marijuana. The hal lucinogenic weed - which grows wild throughout America in every kind of soil - requires no plowing, fertilizing, harrowing, mulching, weeding, spraying or watering. To raise a crop of dreams, all the would-be "grass" farmer need do is scatter seed some time in the spring, then go off to a love-in for 60 to 80 days. When the female Cannabis sativa bears its resinous flowers, the farmer simply plucks the plant and dries the top portion in the sun, an oven...
Ever since one Chum Ming sailed east from his native Kwangtung in 1847 to grow up with the country, California's Chinese have been victimized by their language problems (even today, no more than 40% speak fluent English), their fear of deportation, and traditional kowtowing to fate and station. San Francisco's youngest, brightest Chinese-Americans leave for the suburbs at a rate of up to 15,000 a year, and Chinatown has become a way station for immigrants and a ghetto of the old and unemployed poor...
Critics say that the conglomerates are little more than glorified holding companies. But companies like Litton Industries take the position that they are helping their holdings to grow syn-ergistically-by monitoring them for signs of trouble, providing them with computer and research services and risking money on projects they might not undertake on their own.

...signs of unrest in our cities are unquestionably but the early warning signals of a growing division between the two Americas. A man taught to hate himself can do no less than grow in his hatred of others... on the other hand, it is reasonable to resent one's having to feed forever another man or other men who do not work, whose outrage gives rise to riots and whose resultant irresponsibility ruffles the wanted quiet and peaceableness of our communities throughout the land. Two nations, two Americas, are being built; and they are set on a deadly collision course...
...couldn't get financing, have had to move off the farm." As more marginal, hardscrabble farmers give up and flock to the cities, the spreads that remain are getting bigger. The average farm, just 175 acres back in 1940, now covers 359 acres, and will probably grow to 600 acres by 1980. To make a profit, says Ken Bush, 34, a Milan, 111., farmer with $80,000 worth of gear, "you have to have the volume. To have volume you have to have large acreage. To have the acreage, you have to have the machinery...
