When farmers brought in the most abundant harvest in U.S. history last fall, the Nixon Administration confidently predicted that agricultural supplies would finally be ample enough to slow down the year's runaway food prices. They were right-for a while. But suddenly all of the forces that drove up the cost of eating in 1973 so relentlessly are at work again; foreign demand for U.S. agricultural products is running higher than expected, for example, and the cost of livestock feed has risen sharply. Just for good measure, the energy crisis has added at least one new woe: farmers...
...speedy trial. So far, federal courts have found nothing unconstitutional about delays of a year and sometimes more. In a pending case, however, the nine judges of a federal appeals court are being asked by New York City, among other interested parties, to define the speedy-trial right-for the first time-by setting a six-month limit between arrest and trial.

That was exactly what Harry Truman proceeded to do: by coming out for Averell Harriman, he set Lyndon Johnson up as a possible rallying point for Southern delegates with perhaps 200 precious votes. In the event of a deadlock between Harriman and Stevenson, any hopeful candidate would...
What was going on this week along the vast Russian front was final proof that Voronov was right-for Russia. The specific proof was that the Red Army, spearheaded by the greatest concentration of artillery ever gathered on any front, was winning. Voronov's bludgeon had beaten down the German's rapier; the might of other elements of the Russian Army was trampling...
