Young wiener wolfers today, say C.U. testers, are eating products that are only 60% as nutritious as the ones that carried dear old Dad through the Depression. The cost of protein in frankfurters (mainly beef and pork) is now $7 to $8 per pound-about one-third the current price of silver...
...obvious, if devious, solution. The breeders shipped French cows to Britain, where they were artificially inseminated. Their fertilized ova were removed and transplanted into the wombs of local Jersey and Friesian heifers. Then the surrogate British mothers were shipped to New Zealand, where officials passed them without the slightest beef...
...Families with Dependent Children funds must register for job training and referral programs. The concept of "workfare" has long been dear to critics anxious to cut welfare chiselers from the relief rolls. It was a prime component of Nixon's reform package.

Partly because the Allende regime has not moved forcefully enough against illegal seizures of farms by armed extremists, agricultural production has plummeted.

He lives a life carefully circumscribed by a whole host of social, cultural and religious taboos. All outsiders are suspect, but beef-eating Moslems are particularly "unclean." (Moslems, for their part, regard Hindus and other nonbelievers as infidels.) Almost all of the subcontinent's Moslems-89%, by one authoritative estimate-are descendants of low-caste Hindus who converted to Islam, which emphasizes individuality and equality under a single deity. They...
