Favorite Treat. Felicia, who was acquired from a Minnesota game farm for $35, proved highly cooperative. Rewarded with favorite treats (chicken livers, hamburger meat, fish heads) for each good performance, she was taught to scamper through progressively longer tunnels until she was ready to try one of the 300-ft. sections that will be joined together to make the meson lab's tubes. Fitted with a small leather harness to which a strong, lightweight string was attached, Felicia unhesitatingly scurried the full length of the tube. She delivered her end of the string to workmen, who tied...
...costs caused by the blight. The effect of their decision will be felt in stores early next year and will probably make bacon, sausage and other pork products slightly costlier than now. More cattle will be raised this year, but this beefed-up production will not be reflected in meat-counter prices for 18 months-if ever. Says Economist Larry Simerl of the University of Illinois: "Consumers buy more beef every year, and this increased demand is likely to absorb any increase in production."

...novice in artfully constructing import hurdles. Mandatory or "voluntary" quotas limit imports of steel, oil, cotton textiles, meat, sugar and dairy products.

The lion makes the kill, hyenas in packs take whatever they can from the lion, and vultures pick the bones.' The same natural or der prevails in pro football." Parrish leaves no doubt that the hyenas and vultures...
...enough immediate stimulation of demand." He argues that the cuts, which become effective Jan. 1, should be instituted right now, and that the increases in Social Security levies should be postponed until 1973. Walter Heller contends that it was wrong "to feed corporations with the economic raw meat of a $5 billion investment tax credit on top of the $4 billion depreciation give away, and at the same time toss the consumer the small bone of a $2.5 billion speedup in income tax reductions." Robert Nathan calls the tax cuts an "absolute fraud." Their stimulative effects, he believes, will...
