Third farm price drop announced
Washington reports a 5 percent fall in prices for grain crops and livestock from Sept 15 to Oct 15, the third consecutive monthly decline and 9 percent lower than a year ago. Factory layoffs reached 15 per 100 workers with 413000 involved in 637 strikes, including Ford plants. Ford’s third quarter earnings fell due to a month long UAW strike, but without it profits would have hit a new high. Leading indicators fell again in September, though White House aides say a solid recovery continues.

Galileo faked the Pisa drop experiment say ECU physicists
East Carolina University researchers filmed a 125 foot dormitory drop to test Galileo's claim that weight does not affect falling speed. They found the heavier shot put hit 25 feet before a lighter rubber ball, suggesting air resistance altered results and that Galileo may not have performed the original experiment. The team urges textbooks to drop the legend and acknowledge possible fabrication by students.
