...Sioux Falls, S. Dak., Barry told some 20,000 farm folk: "You and I and all good Americans, we all want a free and prosperous American agriculture, with a minimum of federal controls and intervention. That is the direction in which we must move-forward, toward freedom and progress." To accomplish this, he said, price supports must go, but only after "something better has been developed that can gradually be substituted for it." Just what that something better might be, Goldwater did not specify, but he did promise: "I will never jerk the rug from under the American farmer...
Clicking Counters. Except for describing the bomb as weak, U.S. authorities at first released no figures, and the Weather Bureau, which traced the radioactive cloud, reported its directional progress only, making no comment on its intensity except to say that it was not strong enough to be at all dangerous. But in bomb-bitten Japan, where radiation watching is something of a national hobby, rooftop Geiger counters started clicking ominously.

And if LAFTA wants proof of what wise action can accomplish, it need only observe the separate four-year-old Central American Common Market, whose five small members faced even greater disadvantages. They have drastically lowered tariffs across the board and started several regional organizations. Now they are talking about common currency, transportation, education projects...
...metaphor is grand, the allegory clothes the powerful narrative as patterns clothe a python. In his second film, a 37-year-old Japanese painter named Hiroshi Tesh-igahara has transformed a tricky-turgid novel into a luminous and violent existential thriller, an Oriental Pilgrim's Progress...
