...Under Communism, the people are getting even less meat and dairy foods than under the Czar. Russia's human population has climbed 50% in the past 37 years (to 210 million), but its livestock supply has fallen 2.6%. The hard figures (in millions) as given by Khrushchev...
...professional fights, and out of this indifferent record has won the title of New York State welterweight (147 Ibs.) champion. Boxers respect his clumsy punch, but Basilio cuts easily, and when he earned a shot at the world championship, the experts thought him easy meat for a slashing hitter like Cuba's Champion Kid Gavilan.

By means of similar deals with cartel trade associations, the government hopes to get 5% to 10% price reductions on other food, household goods, linen and clothes...
