Especially into the southern coastal waters near Canton. Last month 748 escapees from the mainland landed in Macao-the highest total in three years. Over half made it by swimming the rough tidal waters of the Pearl River estuary, buoyed up by their newly learned skill and by plastic life preservers supplied to participants in Peking's swimming campaign...
...fertilizer. Moreover, as a grower, consumer and notoriously tetchy voter, the U.S. farmer today is a rough-knuckled realist. Yet he has a wide streak of idealism. Those who, like Shuman, decry federal management of agriculture, do so in part with the prideful assurance that every attempt to keep the U.S. farmer from growing more food is doomed to failure.

They all come back to Clearwater, Texas, for their Ma's buryin' and find themselves in a mighty rough bind with some bad guys who have killed Pa Elder and are trying to take over the town. After the gunsmoke clears, the wrongdoers have what they deserve; the raucous Elder boys have a new image; and Katie's empty rocking chair rocks happily away to underline what Paramount Pictures...
