The implication: the new Administration is now forcing farmers to fend for themselves. In Hettinger, N. Dak. and Selby, S. Dak., where rust was threatening the wheat crop gripes followed the old Non-Partisan League line, and were directed like buckshot against the banks and Eastern capitalists around...

A rivet-eyed, onetime prelim fighter from the Pennsylvania coal country, Palance (né Palahnuik) gave terrifying performances in Shane and Sudden Fear, has since become the hottest heavy in Hollywood. His face alone, as thin and cruel as a rust-pitted spade, is enough to-frighten a strong man; and to make matters worse, he seems to emit hostile energy, like something left overnight in a plutonium pile...

He affected a kind of personal uniform: an open-neck, rust-colored sport shirt, crepe-soled suede boots, a leather windbreaker and dark brown corduroy trousers fastened with a gaily embroidered native belt. In Kenya such belts are called kenyattas, and from his fondness for wearing them, the man had derived his last name.
