Last week that hope was fortified when the Government announced that the U.S. economy grew at a robust 4.1% annual rate during the third quarter. Two categories that showed increased strength were exports and business investment, which means the U.S. is lessening its dependence on consumer spending...

The fiscal 1988 budget calls for farm subsidies of $21 billion, down 6% from this year's, and the tentative deficit-cutting agreement reached two weeks ago by congressional and Administration leaders aims to chop out another $900 million.
