...grain that the land would have produced. The farmer can then sell that wheat for the highest price he can get. The national average this year: $3.50 per bu. Last week Agriculture Secretary John R. Block offered a plan to extend PIK to the 1984 harvest in order to make further reductions in the price-depressing wheat surplus...
Preston Wine Cellars, east of the Columbia River, makes a fine Chardonnay, rich, buttery and well balanced. Flowery Traminers and Johannisberg Rieslings are made by Worden's Washington Winery, outside Spokane. Chateau Ste. Michelle's fresh, fruity, late-harvest Riesling, a subtle Sauvignon, and a spicy Fumé Blanc are delightful by any standard; its reds include a consistently good Merlot. Last year the winery won five gold medals in an international competition in Milan...

According to Charlie Lau, distinguished batting theorist of the White Sox, Kittle has yet to hit a home run that is merely a home run. "They're all emphatically home runs," Lau says emphatically.

The last four Soviet harvests have been unnaturally scanty, so much so that the Soviet government refused to announce production figures for the past two seasons. But this year the U.S.D.A. forecasts a total Soviet grain production of around 200 million metric tons. That figure falls far short of 1978's record 237.4 million tons and of this year's optimistic target...
