Grateful farmers, who had been in revolt against the Republicans a year earlier because of a sag in commodity prices, voted overwhelmingly for Nixon. But the victory was scarcely celebrated before prices took off. It was not all Nixon's doing. A corn blight had reduced the supply of feed for livestock. By coincidence, the complex cycles for raising cattle and hogs also reached their low points simultaneously.

...Freshmen women in the Yard are posting it on their walls, and most people who buy the parody like it. But Lampoon president S. Eric Rayman '73 freely admits that the thing is a fake. It is apparently a 50-year-old cab driver whose belly is beginning to sag a bit, with Kissinger's head attached to it. No doubt that is what a lot of people, including the Lampoon, would like to think Kissinger looks like...
