...part, McGovern thinks that even "a billion dollars a year for hunger will be less than a third of what is needed," and he promises to press for an increase. Where Nixon will get the $270 million to start the program in 1970 is still unknown. One obvious, if possibly simplistic, solution would be to make a radical revision-or excision -of agricultural subsidies. The Government now pays farmers more than $1.8 billion a year not to grow crops. That sum would go far toward easing the chronic hunger pangs of millions of Americans...
...Third Force. Considering that Poher was virtually unknown in France six weeks ago, and has enjoyed the public eminence of the Elysee for only two weeks, it was a remarkable vote of confidence. His standing clearly reflects France's approval of his adept and sensible performance. True to the Fourth Republic style of cultivating groundswells, Poher held off from declaring his widely expected candidacy until the last minute (the deadline is this week) but did what he could to build suspense. He was feeling "calm and serene," he assured newsmen at his first press conference. What about entering...

Normally frequented by hikers and artists, it commands a sweeping view of Kenmare Bay from its 100-acre grounds...
Prime Minister Harold Wilson has had to guide his ship of state through some tumultuous storms, but, compared with recent weeks, those voyages must seem to have been made on a millpond. Wilson's Labor Party was routed last week for the third straight year in local elections. Newspaper polls showed that if a general election were called now, the number of Laborites in Parliament would fall by two-thirds. Finally, after quelling a "mini-mutiny" by Labor backbenchers, Wilson was nearly nibbled to death by dentures...
