Secretary of Agriculture Benson has not lacked for
suggestions from Democrats as well as Republicans as to how he
might solve the farmer’s problems. But it’s a fair bet he
hasn’t received many plans more hilariously interesting than
one offered recently by E.T. Anderson, prominent cattle feeder
of Emporia, Kan. |

Mark four days of the Cuba trip as spent in and out
of Havana. Tour operators working for the People to People
Ambassador Program work the same way the agents do for the
Museum of Natural History or the Smithsonian Institution.
There’s the selling phase and the actual trip itself. Trips
into Communist countries are difficult to plan ahead, as
different areas become off-limits for visitors, so no one on
the American side knew for sure where we would be going once
the Cubans took charge. |

Common Sense
I’m a middle-aged man who, for the most part,
has lived my life in a rural, small town setting. I have two
children, one almost grown and one in the second grade. I have
not had much personal exposure to violence, insolence and
rebellion in school children. |

Stan always had trouble living within the bank's means,
but going into this year's meeting with his banker he was even
more tense than usual. Stan lived in constant fear that along
with next year's free bank calendar would come a foreclosure
notice. |

Back in the mid-1970s, David Allen Coe had a hit on the
country charts with his rendition of "The Perfect Country
and Western Song." The following lyrics hit on all the
essential elements: "Well I was drunk the day my Mom got
out of prison, and I went to pick her up in the rain. But
before I could get to the station in my pickup truck, she got
runned over by a damned ol' train." |
