Food sales growth slows as inflation lifts prices
The Conference Board reports food sales rise about 1 percent annually in the 1970s after inflation adjustment, about half the 1960s pace. Slower population growth and high food inflation drive the drop, with 1978–79 dollar supermarket sales up 1 percent but prices up 13 percent. A long-ago note predicts a corn crop 21 percent above the goal.

Bridge hand seals slam after spade ace reveal
South gains perfect knowledge after East discards on the ace spade and tabled cards. West chimed in that anyone bidding Blackwood then aiming for slam without a control in the opponents' suit needs lessons. South smiled at the cold contract.
