MEET THE PRESS (NBC, 1-1:30 p.m.). Interview with Maryland Governor Spiro Agnew, G.O.P. vice-presidential candidate...
...displays the New England legislator's characteristic attention to detail and distaste for florid rhetoric. It was hardly foreseeable before last week that the Democratic vice-presidential nominee?who is in fact the son of a Polish-born tailor?would be matched against a Republican opposite number from Maryland with a curiously similar background. Muskie and Spiro Agnew, Richard Nixon's running mate, are both sons of immigrants. Both grew up in straitened circumstances.

Unlike Agnew, who after less than two years as Governor of Maryland was little known among politicians outside his state until he received the G.O.P. vice-presidential nomination, Ed Muskie has a hard-earned reputation on Capitol Hill as a diligent and imaginative politician.

At its plant in Paris, Tex., the company's output of Franco-American spaghetti products was running at least 50% below normal. But tomatoes were far and away the biggest casualties. California tomatoes intended for Campbell cans withered on the vine. Ohio patches went unpicked, and migrant workers hungrily moved on. Around Campbell's tomato-red brick home plant in Camden, N.J., the rich blaze of overripe fruit faded as mold...
