...billion worth -usually goes to Common Market nations. The Common Market has made no secret that it is moving toward broadly higher agricultural tariffs to protect small, inefficient European farmers. Last week a panel of U.S. economists reported to Congress that U.S. farm exports to Europe may shrink as much as 30% by 1970. Heaviest losses are expected to be in rice, wheat, feed grains-and poultry...
...does not like to leave the area for much more than a short concert tour, for her psychiatrist is there and she feels that she must stay near him. He is her fourth "shrink," as she calls analysts, and the best ever. Mercurial, subject to quickly shifting moods, gentle, suspicious, wild and frightened as a deer, worried about the bugs she kills, Joan is anything but the harsh witch that her behavior in the Cambridge coffeehouses would suggest.

There may be miles of lymphatic ducts, but they are so fragile and elusive that nobody has measured them. Often buried in fat, they shrink to the vanishing point when not filled with fluid, and disappear at the gentlest touch of the anatomist's probe...
Poltergeist & Poppycock. "The legends," said Ferry, "shrink in the washing." But J. Edgar Hoover, "the indubitable mandarin of anti-Communism in the U.S.," is "as responsible as any person" for "keeping the Red poltergeist hovering in the national consciousness." Hoover's constant warnings against Soviet espionage in the U.S. are right off "an old line . . . and its success year after year is a tribute to the trance into which his sermons throw Americans, not excepting Congressmen. Mr. Hoover is, after all, our official spy swatter. In these persistent reports about espionage and sabotage, is he delicately telling us that...
