Until recently, party papers sang the glories of worker comrades who spent their lunch hours in the factory tool shed inventing new equipment. Last week the new Communist hero was the tiller of the soil. Exhorted Peking's People's Daily: "The foremost frontier of socialist construction lies in the villages. If we relax the rapid development of agriculture and isolatedly stress the privileged development of heavy industry, the whole national economy will be hindered." More than 6,000,000 high school and college students have been routed out of class and sent into the country. More than...
...physican, Mitchell began sailing at the age of eight on Lake Pontchartrain outside his home town of New Orleans and grew up with a tiller in his hand. After a restless year at Ohio's Miami University, Mitchell went to New York, served a hitch as an underwear salesman at Macy's before heading for Florida and odd jobs around the Caribbean.

With Mills's hand on the tiller, the House committee killed off by a vote of 17 to 8 (ten Republicans, seven Democrats v. eight Democrats) the Forand bill (TIME, April 4), which would provide old-age medical and surgical benefits to Social Security pensioners at a cost -to be paid for by increased Social Security taxes-estimated to run $2 billion in the first...
Unlikely as it seems, frostbiting is booming. Last week dinghies put out into the chill waters from eleven different points on the Sound, scores of other spots on both coasts. "It's like hitting yourself on the head with a hammer," sums up Knapp, clasping the tiller of his dinghy Agony. "It feels great when you stop...
