Davis said that there was not enough evidence that the two men, Louis Mathis of Cambridge and Darl R. Dixon of Jamaica Plain, had participated in a conspiracy to transport stolen goods across state lines...
...proposal raises several questions that are as yet unanswered: Who will contribute to the reserve? Who will finance the storage and transport of the grain and who will control it? U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz, whose views are crucial because no reserve system could function without major U.S. participation, worries that the existence of the surplus stocks could hang over the commercial market and depress the prices paid to farmers for their crops. His fear is based on the Government's experience handling the enormous U.S. grain surpluses during the 1950s and 1960s. American farmers commonly-and often...

To shuttle between his international chain of palaces, Mobutu uses the national airline, Air Zaire, as a personal transport service. His high-handed habit of commandeering planes at a whim has made Air Zaire's timetables something of a joke. When Mobutu visited West Germany last spring, he took the line's 747 for himself and a DC-10 for his wife, leaving Air Zaire suddenly without...
