...Republican Donna Owens became the first woman mayor of Toledo, Ohio, and female mayors elsewhere were easily reelected. Houstonians gave businesslike Mayor Kathy Whitmire, 37, a second term by a lopsided (64% to 35%) margin.

At a typical scramble, housewives confront a butcher who tells them that the meat locker is empty and he has "no idea" when more supplies will arrive. Milk and fish are scarce, fresh eggs are the rarest of treats, and produce...
