...whispers a Kennedy backer: "Meyner's not too popular among Catholics, you know"). He is hardly known outside New Jersey, and his rare ventures away from home have been singularly unfortunate. In a nine-state speaking tour last August, he chose a shirtsleeved Minnesota farm audience, ready to plow under Ezra Benson, to lecture on the subject of "The Current Congressional Inquiry into the Operation of the Federal Regulatory Agencies...
While campaigning for re-election in Minnesota's Ninth District, U.S. Democrat-Farmer-Labor Congresswoman Coya Knutson, 45, got one voter's unexpected pledge. "I'll just have to vote for her," said husband Andy Knutson, innkeeper and part-time plow dealer, who supported his wife's rival in the primary, ineffectually pleaded with her last May to come down from Capitol Hill and home to Oklee, Minn...
Capsule of Canada. In a sense, B.C. is Canada in giant capsule form, a pioneer land where the frontiers are just starting to roll back.

...Ichijo's new wealth goes for "luxuries." In the nearby market town of Sakata, one store manager reports: "We are selling $800 motor plows at the rate of one a day-one-third down and three years to pay the rest. Formerly, business was good if we sold 30 plows a year." But for today's young Japanese farmer, a motor plow is more than just a useful agricultural implement. Explains one Ichijo villager: "The new saying around here is: If you don't own a motor plow, no bride will come...
