...last week, a convicted child molester was arrested on a charge of running a child prostitution ring that may have involved 30 boys. Police Sergeant George Huegle, who made the arrest, said that the kids were brought to customers in various parts of the city and were "exhibited like livestock, naked." On both the North and South sides of Chicago, separate rings of girl prostitutes, many of them only twelve years old, are at work. Some of the pre-teens earn $200 nightly. In Los Angeles, police estimate that up to 3,000 girls and boys under...

Those who had escaped by hiding in the caves where livestock are generally kept hunted for other survivors; when they heard a cry, they dug.

Some farmers are planning to feed some of the excess wheat to livestock. But that would further lower the price of corn, the principal animal feed, by reducing demand. Farmers have planted almost 84 million acres of corn, about the same as last year, when they grew a record 6.2 billion bu. Growers are concerned that the huge crop will cause corn prices to fall well below their current level of $2.35 per bu., which is nearly 20% lower than last year's price. Of all the nation's farmers, the best off are the growers of soybeans...
