The piece weighs taste and value in fruit with Nobel laureate Linus Pauling backing oranges for health yet praising apples for nostalgia and philosophy.

The annual Landgrove book safari by Hawes and Ogden yielded a fair bag on a pretty summer day. The writer notes changes since prior hunts, mourns the death of Cheshire Book Shop owner John Kol Voord, and recalls a haul of an 11 volume Emerson set. He discusses Emersonian ideas, H. G. Wells, biological time concerns, and a Uganda life of A M Mackay, highlighting postslavery attitudes and a tragic history.
The piece argues Marxist claims fail but stresses capital investment drives profits and consumer spending. It warns the Nixon administration policy, including tax changes and high interest rates, risks a capital investment gap as firms cut back on new capital outlays while construction pipelines stay full. It notes major firms plan reduced investments and that the economy may stall if pipelines drain.
James Reston analyzes how Nixon's Senate ABM vote exposes a divided path ahead.
