...Canada about to bow out as a full partner in manning NATO's European shield? Until a few months ago, any such notion was inconceivable. Yet in the letdown after Ottawa's cancellation of the all-Canadian Avro Arrow jet interceptor -which the government used as the occasion to write Canada off as a military air power (TIME, March 2)-some members of the Conservative government want to cut back Canada's contribution to NATO.

Born in Nova Scotia, the son of a clergyman, Dean Simpson came to the U.S. in 1927.

In 1954 Oxford called him back to be regius professor of Hebrew and one of Christ Church's five canons. There...
...Canadian-born Aimee Semple McPherson, 28, landed in Los Angeles in 1918 with $10 and a tambourine. Six years later she had built these assets into the $1,500,000 Angelus Temple and a $25,000 radio station, all paid for by cash donations from the fanatic flock that supported her Foursquare Gospel...
