Route 115 approaches Freeport from the northwest, meandering through a series of small towns. It's dark at 1 a.m., and every dip sends car and driver down into the fog. But in the long, open stretches before Yarmouth, the moon is out, and clouds skid across its face. It's a good Maine road--frost heaves, of course--and it could be almost any place in the Pine Tree State. It could run just out of sight of the ocean up past Damariscotta and Pemaquid. It could run through potato country in Arostook. It could be bordered by blueberry...
...farmed cooperatively by 62,000 peasant families. Next week, according to the government, the final block of 875,000 acres will be similarly taken over. TIME Correspondent William McWhirter last week visited one of the new cooperatives, the 960-acre Finca Florencia, a coffee plantation 24 miles northwest of San Salvador. His report...
...rique is now fairly bursting with the ingredients for le grand repas. Lobsters from the state of Maine (named for the region in northwest France), milk-fed veal from le Midwest, good beef and lamb from Montana and New Jersey, le bon canard known as Long Island duckling, the little shrimp of New Orleans, the crab of San Francisco, an aspiring caviar, even snails, frogs' legs and truffles from la Californie.

The cheap alloy frame is smoothed with a file and then placed on an assembly line where the barrel and German parts are inserted. Then the metal is tinted a dark blue. RG Industries last year sold 190,000 such weapons, making it the nation's fifth largest handgun producer...
...police seized a record 263 kilograms of heroin in raids across the country. Last year a sweep of one 15,000-strong U.S. military installation near Frankfurt resulted in the capture of $4 million worth of mostly marijuana and hashish and arrest of 146 U.S. soldiers. Another operation in northwest Germany netted 44 drug offenders, 18 of them U.S. soldiers. Military police seized 15.3 grams of heroin, 805 LSD tablets and 8,990 amphetamine pills. But they recovered only small amounts of hashish from the Americans arrested. Indeed, the joint U.S.-West German efforts have now begun...
