Despite this, the seasonal and sporadic nature of the work keeps total income far below the poverty level. Average family income is less than $1,600 a year. There is no job security, and fringe benefits are few. If they are migrants, the workers must frequently live in fetid shacks without light or plumbing (though housing, bad as it is, is frequently free or very cheap.) As a result, many have moved to the cities, where even unskilled labor can find work at decent wages...
...Germans assigned hundreds of men to find the culprit who could be held responsible for the lost fish (estimated at up to 40 million), the emergency shutdown of the waterworks and any reparations that the Dutch might claim. In all, the legal penalty could total $1,000,000, but no one could put a price on the possible long-range damage. Even though the swift-flowing Rhine is largely self-cleansing, it may take years before the river restocks itself with fish. There was, however, one possible benefit from last week's case of poisoning. It might well shock...

This man [Ojukwu], fighting total war with Nigeria, is a typical Hitler, and he will fight with everything he has in hand. He does not mind killing, eliminating, destroying anything to achieve...
...Focal Point. None of these problems invalidates the French theory. Film has all but replaced the novel as the chief topic of cultural talk on the campus and at many cocktail parties. Audiences as well as critics need someone to praise or blame for the total product. Given that need-and his new intellectual credentials-the director has become the focal point of film making. Henry Hathaway (True Grit), Howard Hawks (Red River) and John Ford (Cheyenne Autumn) have been reappraised as the prime movers of the west ern. Alfred Hitchcock has been called an eminent psychologist for his shrewd...
