Federal audit flags lax oversight in milk buyout program
A USDA inspector general report finds county offices sloppy in administering the 1.8 billion Dairy Termination Program begun in 1986. It notes miscounts of cattle, questionable payments, and weak spot checks, with estimated overstatements of about 18 million dollars across 280 contracts, while ASCS backs most recommendations but resists delaying all payments.

Hoffman Has Fill Of Arrest In His Hometown
Abbie Hoffman, marking the 20th anniversary of Prospect House in Worcester, says he has no plans to be arrested again. The 50 year old former Chicago Seven member and Yippie spokesman notes 42 arrests, with his latest at UMass Amherst during a November protest against CIA recruiters. The piece shifts to Byrd describing fictional senators as parodied in Capra and Twain inspired works, including Smith Goes to Washington and The Gilded Age. It highlights how these depictions reflect political satire and murder mysteries in Senate fiction.
