When India abruptly cut off the waters of one canal system for a month, a Pakistani leader threatened invasion, shouted: "Better a quick, glorious death than a slow, lingering...
...farming with machinery. Essential for modern grain cultivation, big-scale farming is also useful in sugar; Puerto Rico tried and let die a 500-acre limit on sugar farms.

Industrial production for April rose two more points to another record high at 149 on the Federal Reserve index. Nondurables were up a point, and slow-moving durable goods were finally sprinting ahead with a four-point advance to 164 on the index and the highest level since early 1957. With the housing boom still clipping along in April at a record rate of 1,390,000 new homes a year, output of building materials was up sharply; so were appliances, TV sets, furniture...
