...Look at it from another point of view. It is simply impossible to have rules of conduct whereby we cannot encroach on the Soviet sphere while the Soviets exercise an unlimited right to create turmoil in our sphere. If that's the situation, then over a period of time the defeat of free societies is foreordained...
...Panama Canal Treaty and the arms package for Israel, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Down at the G.O.P.'s Tidewater Conference he seized the moment and focused on SALT as an occasion for a broad re-examination of the "total military and foreign policy relationship between the Soviet Union and the U.S." It was, in Baker's eyes, time to dispel the tattered remnants of Arthur Vandenberg's bipartisan tradition, something that was right a generation ago, just after World War II, but is not fully applicable in today's psychological struggles...

...same time, Bergland warned that under the 1977 farm law the federal support price will drop by 330, to $3.07 per bu., next year. That decrease will be more than offset by market forces. Because of the Soviet purchases, U.S. farmers stand to sell more grain than ever at prices somewhat higher than the present $4.22 per bu. for wheat and $2.77 for corn...
