...plods across his barren acres, dragging a steel-slivered plow designed in prehistory by some Indian prototype who faced the same harsh, crumbling earth. In a year, he raises scarcely enough to feed his bullocks. For lunch Ramoo eats another chapatty covered with watery gruel, and perhaps a slice of mango chutney hoarded by his wife to give the food some flavor. Then back to the plow...

At the same time, economic expansion should increase federal revenues by some $7 billion, even though corporate taxes have been cut during 1965.

Schlitz last week introduced an improved flip-top whose blunt edges are guaranteed not to slice hands, as earlier models often did. Anheuser-Busch also announced that it is shifting to aluminum cans from tin-plate, even though brewers admit privately that any kind of can is a poor container for retaining beer flavor. Because 50% of all beer is now sold in supermarkets, beer companies are designing packages that will stand out on store shelves, catch the eye of housewives...
