...TIME'S photographs of Solzhenitsyn [Feb. 11] disclose a face like those icons of old Russian saints: full of sorrow, pity and love, but beneath that a vein of iron, a burning conviction and vast inner resources. The Soviet government will exhaust itself in trying to break his spirit...

When the Government slapped controls on exports of soybeans in June, foreign buyers simply put their money instead into related U.S. commodities, like peanuts and alfalfa, whose exports then had to be controlled too.
