...Rule or Ruin." The delegates rallied in shoulder-to-shoulder solidarity around Farm Bureau President Charles B. Shuman. In his opening speech Shuman put the pitchfork to present agricultural programs. The Agriculture Department, he said, seems "determined to either rule or ruin American agriculture." He called the costly price-support system a ''morass into which we have floundered." He warned farmers that a "vast bureaucracy of tens of thousands of political payrollers is around our neck." Then, switching to a proverb he never heard in his own Illinois. Shuman said: "Our situation in agriculture brings to mind...
Occupational Hazard. Cairo Radio still beams shrill demands that "the criminal King of Jordan" be overthrown, and Hussein never leaves his palace without a loaded pistol in his shoulder holster. But plucky little Hussein - scornfully referred to by Cairo as "transistor-size" because of his 5-ft. 6-in. height - has a king-size knack for survival.

At Omaha's Creighton University, he complained: "Sometimes it has seemed that our Community was being torn out of its crib and being asked to shoulder the burdens of a man. Sometimes it has seemed that even our friends were being too impatient to give us time to mature...
Goalies Beware. But when he laces on his shoulder pads, the brawny old pro is all vinegar. "There is nothing Gordie can't do except sit on the bench," says Frank Selke, managing director of the Montreal Canadiens. Most players favor one hand. Howe can blast with either hand, and his huge wrists and forearms-toughened by summers of "throwing" concrete and gravel-propel the puck toward the net at 90 m.p.h. What sometimes seems like uncanny accuracy comes from Howe's study of every goalie's weakness: "Some are vulnerable to rebounds-like Glenn Hall...
