Moral Reservations. In that perspective, his choice of Minnesota's Fritz Mondale as his running mate was thoroughly consistent. But Mondale, like Carter, is capable of surprising. His Senate votes are usually liberal, of course. But as a member of the Senate Budget Committee, he has opposed meat-ax cuts in the defense budget. He did not support George McGovern in his fight to kill the B-1 bomber. He has had misgivings about both busing and the Humphrey-Hawkins full-employment bill.

...backed up that welcome forecast. According to the department's spring "crop production" report for 1976, the nation's corn crop will reach a record 6.55 billion bu. this year. Since corn is a key livestock feed, its abundance should help to hold down the price of meat. An equally important crop will do almost as well: the wheat harvest should come in at a near record 2.04 billion bu.

The five-story structures, which for 150 years housed fruit, vegetable and meat markets, attracted two groups of people. Preservationists wanted to turn them into a museum. Some developers wanted to raze them and put the valuable downtown land to a more profitable use. But Cambridge Architect Ben Thompson had another idea. Why not modernize the buildings' interiors, recondition the exteriors and keep them as markets? The buildings could then turn a profit...
