...growers in southern Brazil are replanting in soybeans, wheat and sugar cane. They fear that the current coffee shortage will lead other farmers to overplant, thereby producing a future surplus and a resulting collapse in the coffee market. There is also a threat of further devastation from coffee leaf rust, a fungus disease that was swept by the trade winds from West Africa to Brazil. About 400 acres of coffee trees in Nicaragua's Carazo province have already been razed in an attempt to stop the rust, and throughout Central America spraying stations have been set up, where cars...
...Coast Guard could field only 19 ships and 17 planes-all that were available. TIME Correspondent James Shepherd, aboard one of the first-day flights, saw a Russian fleet fishing as usual-but now with U.S. license-about 80 miles off Long Island.

Above all, it makes a strong pitch for physical fitness, endorsing everything from swimming to sex: "The body is far more likely to rust out than wear out; the more it is used the better it will function." The same might be said of Symptoms...
...other, nontraditional choices arrayed before me have become countless; the themes seem to get more varied every year. The designers and versifiers at Hallmark, Rust Craft, Norcross have seen to that. Hallmark alone comes out with 1,000 new designs for Christmas every year. There are special cards for black grandfathers and for soul sisters. Worried about ecology? A Chicago company sells 300 designs printed on recycled paper. Got expensive tastes? Bloomingdale's in New York City offered a reproduction of Renoir's Le Moulin de la Galette at $183 for a box of 100. (It was sold...
