...farmers to whom Ford was appealing have been growing increasingly restive over mounting opposition to the sale of 10 million tons of grain to the Soviet Union. AFL-CIO President George Meany spearheaded that opposition last week by announcing that the International Longshoremen's Association would not load the grain on ships until the White House provided assurances that the deal would not increase food prices for American consumers. Seeming to take the farmers' side at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines, Ford declared that a "sound, fully productive agriculture is a key element in this nation...
...incident in an anniversary week that left eleven dead and 150 injured across Ulster. Among those killed was four-year-old Siobhan McCabe, felled by a sniper's bullet apparently intended for a British soldier. Another was Samuel Llewellyn, 29, a Protestant truck driver who was delivering a load of paperboard in the Catholic Falls Road area of Belfast to help patch up windows shattered in a bomb blast the previous day. Although Llewellyn was making the delivery at the request of a Catholic welfare organization, he was dragged from the truck by a Catholic mob, beaten and shot...
...weeks ago announced that its profits for the first half of 1975 nearly doubled from a year earlier, to $24.7 million, but this is based partly on cost calculations that assume Lockheed will eventually sell 300 TriStars; whether it can is in serious doubt.

The current scandal seems as unlikely to unhorse Chairman Daniel Haughton, who has headed Lockheed since 1967, as any of the company's former crises. His defenders on the board of directors believe Haughton is not personally responsible for many of the company...
Daniel, Bridget and I followed Peg up to his tiny, one-room cabin. A loaded shot-gun and squat, scoped hunting rifle hung over the door, a long-necked banjo and the Thompson over the bed. Peg turned on his tape deck, gave Peanut a piece of licorice, and pulled out the Thompson's clip: 90 rounds a minute of bloated, stumpy bullets. Peanut cried and Pegleg picked his banjo and Daniel got down on the floor where the child was and then wasn't when her mother picked her up, and said how she had the life and wasn...
Much of the inefficiency in the food distributing machinery is beyond the industry's control. Teamsters union regulations mean that many trucks deliver small shipments to stores each week, when a few fully loaded trucks could do the job. The typical supermarket receives 200 trucks every week; each shipment has a wholesale value of about $50, and costs the store $5 to process in paper work alone. Rules imposed by the Interstate Commerce Commission often require vans to return from their destinations empty, rather than let them pick up an available load. The National Commission on Productivity estimates that...
