FOOD The First Battle In the up-to-date comfort of a vast glass-and-marble honeycomb on the edge of Rome, the U.N.'s 77-nation Food and Agriculture Organization met last week to talk about hunger.

The Sen ate restored $48.8 million of the $76 million cut by the House from FAA's $587 million jet-age budget, bringing the total appropriation for operating expenses to within only $6,000,000 of what Quesada asked. Chances for the revised bill's passage : excellent. The restoration gives...
