Many individuals have been drawn into the fields because they savor living close to the soil while creating a product of pleasure. Jack Davies left his job as vice president of a Los Angeles metals company in 1965 in order to try reviving a then defunct champagne cellar. His Schramsberg champagne is now acknowledged to be the best produced in the nation, and last February President Nixon brought 14 cases to Peking to toast Chou Enlai. Russell Green abandoned his post as president of Signal Oil Co. to take over the Simi winery. Today it is one of the many...
...moment, much of America was suspended in an August pause. Compared with the national mood a year ago-a weary funk of economic uncertainty-there was now even a sense of a new summer sweetness, an ease, or apathy, and in some parts of the country a distinct savor of contentment...
...hazy streets of Gary, Ind., cluttered a year ago with knots of unemployed steelworkers, now are nearly deserted as steel production continues to surge.

Despite an utter lack of suspense, delegates in the hall kept close tallies of the vote, as did Eleanor McGovern, who appeared at the convention center to savor the moment. McGovern stayed at the Doral, tracking the ballots, fiddling with the television dial. "Illinois will put us over," said Yancey Martin, McGovern's black director of minorities. It was a small irony that McGovern soared over his required 1,509 with the Illinois delegation that he had rather reluctantly claimed from Richard Daley. In the hall, a brief, almost polite pandemonium broke out and then subsided. McGovern smiled...
