Generally, reports Editor Burger, food is best in the Northeast, worst in the South and the Great Plains, with regional specialties often an exception. But, says he hopefully, "the food is improving all the time. That is why we will have to scrap the books each year and start from scratch." Meanwhile, give or take a few stars, the tired and hungry traveler driving into Ukiah, Calif., with his family after eight hours on the road, can derive immense comfort from the knowledge that the two-starred Ukiah Travelodge offers a suite for $15 a night, with "crib...
...save the day, House leaders are trying to get Secretary Freeman to tone down his bill. At week's end Freeman was ready to make some compromises, but gave no indication that he was willing to scrap Title One. There was little time to lose. As Freeman fretted, his Agriculture Department announced that this year's bumper crop of wheat would add about another 125 million bu. to the stockpile that already totals 1,450,000,000 bu. Every day the U.S. spends $1,400,000 just to store a mountain of surplus food that now is worth...

The plan never had a chance; distrustful Russian military leaders certainly would not allow the U.S. to retain possession of the secrets of A-bomb production while stifling...
...goods at a fraction (5-7%) of cost. There is plenty to go around-and not just leftovers from the last war. The Government alone last year unloaded $2.1 billion worth of "usable property." Under a house-cleaning policy recommended in 1955 by the Hoover Commission, it plans to scrap even more in the years to come. The supply seems inexhaustible; the military services often buy too much or find a product obsolete, or simply clean house of products that deteriorate in storage. By combining patience, fortitude and ingenuity, the 15 major dealers turn the Army's loss into...
