Despite PIK's problems, the Government insists the program will save taxpayers $9 billion in storage costs and other outlays in fiscal 1984 through 1986. The savings pale, however, next to the estimated $21.2 billion that will be spent this year on farm price supports, five tunes the outlays of fiscal 1981. Says Agriculture Secretary John Block: "The costs that we are looking at today really are unacceptable." In preparation for redrafting the current farm bill, which expires in 1985, Block last week convened a two-day, closed-door "summit" of farm and agricultural business leaders to thrash...
...beverages that the micros produce are more akin to imported German or English brews than to Budweiser Miller or other light, pale lager beers. The alcoholic content can range as high as 7% compared with less than 5% for most major domestic brands. "Our beer is richer, heavier, hoppier," says William Newman, 36, the founder of Wm. S. Newman Brewing (1982 sales: $103,000) in Albany. "There's simply a market out there for more distinctive beer." Some beer drinkers agree.

He was a soul, not lost but stranded, who willed himself into a survivor...
Calculated outrage like this burns out fast, and Bowie was in danger of doing just that. Pale under all his stage makeup and already well into the high life, he was held together only by the weight of his old dreams. Born in Brixton, one of London's toughest neighborhoods, Bowie originally dreamed of being a painter. He describes his father Hayward Jones as "a gambler and drinker and layabout for most of his life. I have one brother and one sister that I know about." His mother Margaret Mary Burns was a movie usher when she met Hayward...
...bass are tolerably strong the orchestra disciplined and subdued; the only touch that proves more distracting than ingenuous is the "Creative" black tie of the soloists, which includes a woven Indian style smock along with the cummerbunds and so forth. But what happens on stage necessarily leaves them pale by comparison. Carlo Rizzo who dances the rooster is astonishing as is Susan White as the Fox; the latter in a scarlet body stocking attacks and "dies" with a sinuous grace while Rizzo does best in the rooster's moments of sweaty panic. In one such attack White flips Rizzo...
