...part, McGovern thinks that even "a billion dollars a year for hunger will be less than a third of what is needed," and he promises to press for an increase. Where Nixon will get the $270 million to start the program in 1970 is still unknown. One obvious, if possibly simplistic, solution would be to make a radical revision-or excision -of agricultural subsidies. The Government now pays farmers more than $1.8 billion a year not to grow crops. That sum would go far toward easing the chronic hunger pangs of millions of Americans...
...sensible performance. True to the Fourth Republic style of cultivating groundswells, Poher held off from declaring his widely expected candidacy until the last minute (the deadline is this week) but did what he could to build suspense. He was feeling "calm and serene," he assured newsmen at his first press conference. What about entering the race?

Airline offices, with their posters showing faraway places, have taken over the Champs-Elysées, and last week the press announced that a new airbus treaty would be signed with Germany. It is no longer unusual to find a barber in Antibes or a salesgirl in Lyon who has visited the U.S. ?or anywhere else?as a tourist. Practically everyone, it seems, has made a summertime visit to the Spanish...
