...versatile writer, joining what he called the "deadly hustle" of journalism. Like Great-Uncle Arnold, Huxley tried to use literature as a social tool. To his own disillusioned generation of post-World War I Englishmen, he was the cynical dandy who wrote such bright and nasty satires as Antic Hay and Point Counter Point. During the '30s he became the Huxley of the depressingly prescient and durable Brave New World (1932) and its vision of a totalitarian future, with eugenics, social engineering and government-dispensed tranquilizers...
...ripple-effect, as well as the brownout, also hangs heavily over the negotiations at Washington's Hay-Adams Hotel--a place Miller aides and coal operators will see more of after yesterday's failure by the 38 regional representatives to put their imprimatur to a second, fattened industry offer. The strike has already idled more than 23,000 workers in the steel industry and coal-hauling railroads, had a hand in last week's laying-off of 130,000 auto workers and, by Government estimates, could add as many as 400,000 workers to the country's six-per-cent...

As a chilling reminder of their past exploits, they also released a detailed report of how they kidnaped former President Pedro Eugenic Aramburu in 1970, stuffed him into a truckload of hay, and transported him to a ranch outside Buenos Aires, where he was summarily tried, sentenced and executed. Although the Montoneros are not the sole purveyors of Argentine violence, they are widely believed to be responsible for most of the recent bombings...
...weather is also punishing Illinois, where the soybean crop will probably fall 20% below earlier expectations. Farmers in Oklahoma are getting only three cuttings of hay instead of five, and the spring-wheat yield in North Dakota is expected to be sharply reduced. The Governors of Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota have declared their states disaster areas. At the Midwest Governors Conference last week in Minneapolis, a resolution was adopted urging the Administration to expand farm disaster relief and increase crop price-support programs, which only last year were reduced in order to boost production...
