...eleven weeks a campaign of terror has rocked the French Canadian province of Quebec, and sent shock waves rippling all across Canada. Last month a bomb ex plosion killed the night watchman at a Montreal army recruiting center. A fortnight ago, 13 time bombs were found in mailboxes in a Montreal suburb, and a Canadian army explosives expert was critically injured when one of them went off in his face. Last week 18 more sticks of dynamite were found planted in mailboxes in Quebec City, and an explosion shattered offices at the Montreal armory of the Royal Canadian Electrical...
Second Class. Ever since colonial days, Quebec's French-speaking population has bitterly resented traditional British domination of Canada's economy and government. In 1867, when Canada won self-rule, the fathers of Canadian confederation wrote into the British North America Act Quebec's inalienable right to its own language, Roman Catholic religion and cultural identity.

...talk. Out on the Kennedy patio in wicker chairs, walking around the deep green lawn, beside a crackling fire or over poached flounder, the two talked for ten hours in all. The substance was about as expected. Canada will live up to its word on nuclear arms; U.S. and Canadian officials will work out new arrangements for sharing defense production; labor leaders from both sides will meet to settle a bitter dispute between rival Canadian and U.S. unions on the Great Lakes. The list of topics also included trade across the border; the Columbia River power project, which has been...
