Canada thus won its freedom without rebellion, or without major national heroes. Perhaps it was good (or bad) luck. Perhaps it was more, for after all, character is fate. In the 18th century, as Historian Ramsay Cook points out, English-speaking Canadian settlers had rejected the American Revolution, just as 13 years later, in 1789, French-speaking settlers rejected the French Revolution. As a result, Canada's 1867 charter contained little thought of revolutionary fervor or political ideology. In contrast to the American Declaration of Independence, with its ringing "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness," Canada...
...Canada's way of handling its problems, both internal and with the U.S., could serve as a model for many lesser-endowed countries struggling toward maturity. "We are always apologizing for not having had any wars or revolutions," says Toronto's Father Michael Quealey. "This is too bad only if history is going to be a replacement for Batman.

On top of earlier gains, that gave the market a 43.71-point lift in three weeks-for its strongest rally since January. And it left the Dow-Jones only an edge below the 900 level, which many brokers consider...
Brahms' Symphony No.3 in F must have been planned as the Big Romantic Conclusion, but it was the weakest and most disappointing part of the program. For the first time the full resources of the HRO were deployed, and they were unwieldy. Ensemble was generally bad, and the orchestra rarely got below a non-commital mezzo volume which sapped the climaxes of their drama and surprise. The typically aloof wind section was adamantly sharp throughout, as if they were under no obligation to listen to the strings. In spite of difficulty in the high register, the upper strings produced...
