...last fiscal year, the Dining Hall Department spent $3,576,547--but less than half of this amount went directly to wholesale grocers. In fact, the Department spends only 44.3 per cent of its annual budget on the 31,000 pounds of flour or the 60,000 quarts of milk used monthly in its operations. If budget trimming can be practiced in the Department, it might start among the salaried workers. Wages account for 44.1 per cent of the Department's expenditures, and a reduction might make a drop in the board rate feasible...
Outmoded design drops the efficiency of the Central Kitchen greatly. For example: approximately 2,000 gallons of milk are consumed daily in the Central Kitchen and its five connected House kitchens. However, there is no cold storage area large enough to hold this amount of milk, so deliveries must be made daily. Much manpower is wasted in cross-haulage between various storerooms--delivered foods may stay in one cooler for two or three hours until the next shipment arrives and then must be shifted to one of the two other small cold storage areas...
Rockefeller went to television with charts and figures to argue that his requests were imperative. Democrats shouted "Soak the poor," followed him on TV with a collection of shirts, shoes and milk bottles to demonstrate the family buying power that would be sapped by his proposal to lower state income-tax exemptions ($2,500 per couple, $400 for each dependent) to the $600-per-individual federal level. One night, when he stood up to open a sports show in Manhattan, he was roundly booed. Rockefeller spoke through the boos, grinned gamely: "Who's going to dance in the streets...

In the case of the Dufy, for example, the fraud seems innocently inept. Only a portion of the original painting is reproduced -- the portion chosen by the milk company. The painting's prominent position in the exhibition is owing at least in part, to the fact that its owner offered it late, as an after-thought...
...fields alone. Life around Brookston was grim for all farmers in those days after the collapse of prices following the World War I boom, and it was harsh at the North farm. Dale North, the father, was not satisfied unless everybody got up at 3:30 to milk, eat and harness up, so they could get into the fields by 5:30. The cheerless life in Widower North's house still troubles Warren North: "We never even had a Christmas tree." By 1930 the father saw the way clear to let Warren's twin sister Wanda...
