His sons would come to him for advice about farming. Daughters would ask grandmother about how to raise their children. Now the son goes to the agricultural agent for advice, and the one thing the daughter knows is-she isn't going to raise her children the way her mother raised...
Decidedly Different. It all seemed pretty familiar-the homey pitch, the church-folk tone, the appeal to kinship. But as Orval Faubus canvassed Arkansas last week, something was decidedly different.

Andrica was born in Radna, Rumania, and speaks six languages. The Cleveland area, with a population of 1,700,000, has some 750,000 residents who are either foreignborn or the children of foreign-born parents. The Press is a newspaper with...
...carries his food to a quick-cooking microwave oven, presses a colored timer button that matches the color code on the package, and his meal is heated for the proper length of time. When the red light flashes and the bell rings, the diner, who by now feels a kinship to Pavlov's dog, gets his chow on disposable plates...
