Bolivia Mourns After Jet Slams Into Crowd Killing Dozens
A chartered Boeing 707 struck a street crowd in Santa Cruz injuring many and killing over 100, including children and a group of young soccer players. Four crew members died, three Americans among them. President Banzer ordered three days of national mourning, with funerals to be led Thursday. The disaster, the worst in Bolivian aviation history, happened after the jet departed an airport near the city, tearing through trees and a school yard before crashing into a practice field.

Government raises wheat price to aid farmers
Washington AP reports the Ford administration increased the government support price for wheat and other grains, defending the move as humane and not politically motivated. Knebel said the higher price, rising from 1.58 to 2.80 per bushel, will cost taxpayers about 87 million dollars over this year and next and allows farmers to reclaim or store grain if market prices remain low.
