Puzzle of the land by Bruce Biossat
Government sources say harvested cropland has stayed steady for 40 years while land shifts to crops from grasslands and woodlands. Reclamation adds irrigation but little net cropland. Population growth may create a land shortage after 1980, with an extra 63 million acres needed by 2000 from grasslands and woodlands.

Rise of Chronic Unemployment Warns of Longer Job Slump
National Planning Assn. warns chronic unemployment could rise further, driven by tech shifts, discrimination, and stagnant growth. From 500,000 in 1953 to about two million today, chronic unemployment now accounts for about 40 percent of total unemployment. If activity inches up, job shortages may persist into 1961 with nearly 8 million workers unemployed or underemployed.

Where jobs start how important is the stock market to Americans

Wine science as a career in UC's oenology program
Dr Maynard Amerine heads UC's Department of Oenology directing a winery and 150 acres of vines with 1000 grape varieties. Students sniff and exhale rather than swallow tasting samples while meeting strict chemistry physics and math requirements. The program spends nearly a million dollars yearly on teaching and research and runs a leading grape breeding project. Amerine says wine blending and character come from individuality and imagination, not mere surface appeal.

Women as Household Slaves and Family Duty
A woman writer argues that the idea of female slavery is flawed if shared with husbands. She notes men are financially bound to support families, sacrificing personal leisure for security. She suggests the bond with husbands isn’t entirely negative, as family obligations affect both genders.
Kennedy's Better Life Plan for Older Americans
Ray Henry outlines Kennedy's initial 1961 proposals across housing income health and employment for Americans 65 and older. Housing would expand non profit loans and reserve units while 50,000 existing public housing units would be set aside. Income aims to boost Social Security payments for millions, lower retirement age to 62, and ease eligibility for disabled and widows. Health adds a health insurance element to Social Security with nursing home and diagnostic coverage, plus research and more training in geriatrics. Employment pledges include anti discrimination steps and more job programs, though funding remains modest.
