Consumers who like to drown their morning cornflakes may soon be merely moistening them. Because of a decline in U.S. dairy production, milk prices are jumping over the moon. After churning out a record 146 billion lbs. of milk in 1988, suppliers are producing about 2% less this year.

...early days, the Times often misstepped. Wire copy on Moon's conviction for tax evasion was doctored. The newsroom became a revolving-door workplace, with constant turnover and inexperienced staffers. During last year's presidential race, the Times, pursuing a rumor about Michael Dukakis' receiving psychiatric treatment, twisted a quote from Dukakis' sister-in-law to manufacture a headline: DUKAKIS KIN HINTS AT SESSIONS.
