Open Confrontation. Peanut Farmer Carter has proposed raising the targets in 1978 to $2.90 for wheat and $2 for corn (v. $ 1.70 now). He calculates the cost to taxpayers at $2 billion a year, and has theatened to veto any farm measure that raises the tag. But the Senate has passed a bill that would cost almost twice as much; the House is preparing to vote on a measure priced at $2.3 billion. Both want to raise target prices this year.

Time after time, Rosovsky warned that competition for students is likely to intensify over the next 15 years, as demographic patterns change and as students find that many public institutions offer an education comparable to that they could find at Harvard--with a much lower price tag.

Today's visitors to Colonial Williamsburg explore the nation's oldest and most ambitious historical restoration in shuttle buses and relax in air-conditioned rooms with electric light. But the 20th century comforts carry an inflated modern price tag-and so, in Bicentennial 1976 of all years, the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, which runs the restoration, suffered a $703,000 deficit, its first ever. More red ink threatens this year unless foundation officials can attract more visitors and do some fancy cost cutting...
