...seemed too compelling to ignore. Exceeding even Gutterman's expectations, the A.C.S. set aside $2 million to buy interferon and last week announced that beginning in mid-November the substance would be used in its first mass test?in five medical centers on 150 patients suffering from one of six types of cancer...
...former member of FORTUNE magazine's board of editors and the author of highly acclaimed studies of race (Crisis in Black and White) and education (Crisis in the Classroom), Silberman began his Ford Foundation-funded research six years ago.

Enough food is left over to make the export capacity of American agriculture the hope of the have-not world.

You're out there on your own, and if you can't cut it, it's pretty obvious." He feels much the same about farming, castigating many of his fellows...
...polished surfaces, and the outdoor locations seem almost too spacious for the limited confines of the television screen. When Louisa goes marketing, she walks by an assemblage of what appears to be every vegetable in England. The gargantuan Edwardian meals that she prepares are photographed with almost sinful clarity (six of the episodes required the services of a cookery adviser). What Upstairs, Downstairs did for class consciousness, The Duchess of Duke Street may do for icebox raiding...
