...where for a nominal admission ($5.50) some of rock's best talent is on view. During convention week, the management has booked a bunch of folkies-Eric Andersen, Livingston Taylor, Mary Travers, Tom Paxton -who will presumably regale visiting delegates with songs of chiding irony and social import. The Convention, a group of comic actors, will open each show with irreverent improvisations on the day's events at the Garden. Up in Central Park, the Schaefer Music Festival offers excellent, inexpensive ($ 1.50-$3) outdoor entertainment. B.B. King, justly renowned for his blues-guitar virtuosity, will appear on July...
Government help has two aspects. First, import controls effectively bar processors from buying peanuts from such other countries as India and Brazil. More important, farmers can legally grow peanuts only on Government-set acreage allotments-and any peanuts that processors do not want to buy can, in effect, be sold to the Government at artificially high prices. This year's support price, scheduled to be announced next month, is expected to go as high as $415 a ton, v. a world price of $250. Each year the Government buys up huge amounts of peanuts; last year it purchased about...
Other coups followed as B.C. moved into real estate speculation and sake brewing. In 1952, he decided that South Korea "could only prosper through trade." He set up his Samsung (Three Star) export-import company to do just that, and the firm quickly provided profits that Lee shrewdly invested in other ventures.

Together they rang up sales of $731.9 million last year...
South Africa's main leverage over Ian Smith's white-minority regime in Salisbury is economic; Rhodesia gets virtually all of its arms and ammunition and most of its imports via South African rail lines. Just how far Kissinger went in urging Vorster to place economic sanctions against the Smith regime was not clear. Kissinger declined to speculate on the outcome of the talks, but expressed optimism that "the process is in motion" for a peaceful transition to majority rule in Rhodesia. He also discussed the possibility of resettling white Rhodesians in Western Europe and South Africa, perhaps...
That torrid little tory with the torch and toga is none other than British Import Elton John. The tinsel troubadour ordered the Statue of Liberty getup from Designer Bob Mackie (Cher's own) to wear during his seven-week concert tour of the colonies that starts this week. "Last year I made Mr. Blackwell's Ten Worst-Dressed Women' list, so this costume is in keeping with my image," says the singer-composer, who will sport beaded red and white striped knickers, as they call 'em in London, beneath his robes. Elton's tour, which...
