A surprisingly engaging show on what could be a very dry topic. We remember Mr. Butz today, if we remember him at all, mostly for his having been put in Coventry for making a silly joke. In fact, he proves a knowledgeable and lucid guide through the intricacies of farm pricing and foreign trade-e.g., is the sale of wheat to the Russians responsible for higher prices of bread in our supermarkets, or are they a result of other policies, and of general inflation? EB: "... farmers, like TV personalities, are ingenious. They can use their pencil, you know. And I guess what happens is you simply transfer part of your operation to Mrs. Buckley or Mrs. Butz ... or to the nephew or son-in-law, as you say."
