...much would it cost and who would pay for it? Charlie Brannan wasn't able to say offhand what the cost would be; he thought it would be no more than the cost of the present price-support program (an estimated $860 million this fiscal year, an unpredictable part of which may be recouped in later years by the Government in sales of stored surpluses). But for those who liked their arithmetic plain, the answer seemed too familiar. It looked as if the rabbit might save the consumer some money on his bills, but it also seemed inevitable that...
Macedonia is divided among Greece, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia. The Cominform plan calls for the several parts to be united in a separate "free" Macedonian state (see map).

...guarantees. Often a hidden defect, perhaps unknown even to the manufacturer, drags the plane out of the air. The pilot's best bet is to make an emergency landing on the broad lake. Bailing out alive from a modern jet plane is difficult; it is also part of the test pilot's code to bring the aircraft back if it is humanly possible...
