Consider a typical Coward "life-line": "If there's one thing in the world that infuriates me, it's sheer wanton stubbornness. I should like to cut off your head with a meat axe."

The price of dried beans, for example, has leaped an astounding 256% since December 1970, while rice has jumped 124%. As a result, the nation's needy are hungrier now than they were four years ago, despite the billions of dollars...
