The revolution that besets them started slowly more than a generation ago, when U.S. farming began to change from a family way of life to a specialized indu try.

...masters of the give-away program have a new gambit. Advised that gold-plated diaper changers, trips to Saudi Arabia, and dates with Marlon Brando have lost some of their public appeal, the industrial publicists have a new and more grandiose scheme, the multi-million dollar Scholorama. Combining the best features of the free ride, the American enthusiasm for youth, and the support of an articulate intelligensia, the device is sweeping the nation...
