...With reference to your cover story of your Armed Forces [April 11] may I, as a Canadian Forces officer who has worked closely with members of all your services since 1952, be allowed to comment. The officers and NCOs of the U.S. forces with whom I have served are serving you-the U.S. public-extremely well. Your DOD is indeed the Department of Peace and I believe there are too few citizens who share the dedication to their country that your servicemen do.

...Side of the Mountain, Radnitz claims, is intended for the whole family. But its main appeal is obviously to the intelligent preteenager interested in natural history.

Seventeen-year-old Ethel and 20-year-old Bobby met in 1945, at Mont Tremblant, a Canadian ski resort near Montreal. They liked each other ("He was so handsome!" Ethel recalls) and began to date, until Bobby turned his attentions to Ethel's quiet, bookish sister Pat. This lasted a few months by most accounts, but to Ethel it seemed "two years at least." Finally Pat developed other...
...went last week as the Montreal Expos and the St. Louis Cardinals played the first major league baseball game outside the U.S. If the bilingual announcer in Montreal's Jarry Park sounded slightly strange to the American players, it was no less so for the Canadian spectators. Before the game the loudspeakers repeatedly boomed in English and French: "If your seat has not been installed, please be patient...
