...bothered Canada for more than a century. Pearson was seriously concerned about the country's 6,000,000 French Canadians, who in recent years have felt increasingly isolated and restless among Canada's English-speaking majority-so much so that many of them have begun to call for the outright secession of French-speaking Quebec. Aware, as Pearson put it, that any such divorce would produce "rupture, and loss and pain," the ministers took only three days to agree on what they must do. They decided not only to rewrite the country's constitution but also...
...thought the Miami Beach Music and Fine Arts Board. In 1963, John Bass, a retired sugar-company executive, offered the city his private collection of 100 works of art, including paintings attributed to Rembrandt, Hals, Vermeer, Rubens, Botticelli, Goya and El Greco.

But the council, loath to look a gift horse in the mouth, voted down the recommendation, spent $160,000 transforming the old public library into the Bass Museum...
...sites have more in common: all lie close to the lunar equator-and for good reason.

Setting down the LM anywhere but near the equator would require change-of-plane maneuvers-both for landing and returning-that would consume large additional amounts of the craft's precious fuel. Once a launch time has been set, scientists will pick a site where the sun will be at least...
Much the same could be said of Daniel Poling. The son of an Evangelical minister, he was born in Portland, Ore., accepted his first call as a preacher at a United Evangelical church in Canton, Ohio, in 1905. From then on, his life as a minister of the Gospel and a servant of man were inextricably interwoven. During the '20s, he was probably the nation's most popular radio preacher, and for eight years he was pastor of Manhattan's prestigious Marble Collegiate Church-a post now held by his friend and disciple, Norman Vincent Peale. Poling...
...same head. Godard did it 18 times in Breathless. While making A Woman Is a Woman, he recalled a Chaplin dictum that comedy is life in long shot and tragedy life in closeup. So A Woman became a comedy in closeup. Cameras are supposed to record, not call attention to themselves. In My Life to Live, he had his camera swinging back and forth like a pendulum during one key sequence...
