...cost of $768 million, about $250 million more than he had estimated. Also in 1961, Freeman boosted the support price on milk from $3.22 per 100 lbs. to $3.40-such an attractive price that dairy farmers unloaded upon the Government some 10.5 billion lbs. Total cost to the Government: $560 million. Last week Freeman admitted failure, cut the support price back...

She was so ugly that I am sure no one else would have wanted to give her milk. It was my milk that made Sophia beautiful, and now she doesn't even remember me. I gave milk to hundreds of children, but none of them drank as much as Sophia. Her mother gave me 50 lire a month. Sophia drank at least 100 lire worth of milk...
