...with this crop. Not by anyone's reckoning does the present support price cover the average cost of production in the U.S Nor do today's world sugar prices meet production costs anywhere around the globe. Those factors, left unresolved, bode future shortages of a basic commodity vital to the U.S. food chain. We must maintain a domestic production capability...
...Rivbea sounds Rivers' own extended free-form music: "Spontaneous on-the-spot creation and improvisation." Perhaps the most vital avant-garde spawning ground of all is Chicago's Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians, a collective that was created in 1965.

Harvard, as you're probably finding out about now, is a big and often confusing place. It takes a lot of effort to keep up on what's going on here--meetings, lectures, activities, as well as the vital issues of concern to the local community. Without some idea of what's happening--at an always hectic pace--around you, it's all too easy to miss out on the unique opportunities Harvard and Cambridge have to offer. That's why we're here...
