...pipe has been emboweled about the petrochemical suburbs of Houston that the area is called "the Spaghetti Bowl." Near Harrisburg, Pa., five different pipelines parallel one another through the Allegheny Mountains. Pacific Gas & Electric's 36-in., 1,400-mile "Big Yard" carries 600 million cu. ft. of Canadian natural gas daily to 34 California counties and to Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon. The Big Yard is the largest, longest gas pipeline in the U.S., but it may soon be surpassed by a 1,550-mile line that will carry Texas gas to the Los Angeles plants of California...
When a rich lode of copper was discovered at Timmins in Ontario last April, the news set off a wild rush of speculation in Canadian mining stocks. As prospectors staked out some 8,000 claims in the Timmins area, penny stocks became dollar stocks on the Toronto Exchange, and paper fortunes piled up almost overnight. Though most of the glory and the proven reserves belong to the lode's Yank discoverer, Texas Gulf Sulphur, Canadians were particularly pleased when one of their own companies seemed on the verge of its own strike. It was only a small company with...
Surprise in Store. Many Canadian investors placed considerable trust in the prime mover of Windfall: Viola MacMillan, 61, a shrewd, hard-driving prospector since 1923 and the dark-haired darling of Canada's mining men.

To one questioner, Viola replied cryptically: "A lot of people are going...
...carefully planned alibis, N.A.A. can be as revealing as a photograph of the actual crime. N.A.A. can link suspects to incredibly small bits of physical evidence, such as the infinitesimal traces of gunpowder left on the hand of someone who has fired a gun. N.A.A. helped to win a Canadian murder conviction in 1959 by matching the accused's hair with tiny hair samples found on the victim. The first such U.S. conviction occurred last winter in a New York federal court, which accepted N.A.A. evidence as proof that the soil found on a truck hauling illicit liquor matched...
Margaret Laurence is a 37-year-old Canadian whose publishers have taken the "unusual gamble" of bringing out three of her books on the same day. The Stone Angel, her second novel, is accompanied by a first collection of short stories, The Tomorrow-Tamer, and a travel book, New Wind in a Dry-Land. Although she does not live up to her publishers' extravagant billing, she demonstrates in The Stone Angel that she has a true novelist's gift for catching a character in mid-passion and life at full flood. The character is Hagar Shipley, who mixes...
