TIME seems unduly concerned over the renaissance of liberalism in the U.S. As a Canadian, I find myself in almost complete agreement with the Supreme Court decisions, in particular, the Watkins case. Americans need a new set of definitions on such matters as what is disloyalty and what is un-Americanism (the latter probably undefinable). I look for your Supreme Court to provide these badly needed definitions. The U.S. has little to fear from "creeping liberalism." Sit back, relax, enjoy it. A little freedom never hurt anyone. Perhaps, after all, agonizing reappraisals, like charity, should begin at home...
...quick succession, Pat has made her U.S. and Canadian TV debuts, signed her first record contract (with Vik). "One thing I don't want to do in music," she says, "is to go in for the oh-how-sad-I-am-I've-lost-the-only-man-I've-ever-had, and I'm-covered-with-moss school of thing." She knows just how she wants to sound: "It's like nudes in art; you can have them Manet's way, in their purest form, or you can have them Petty style...
...Great Slave Lake area 540 miles north of Edmonton, where Canada's timberlands fade into bleak muskeg swamps stretching northward toward the pole, the signs of oil are as persistent as the mosquitoes. The first Canadian explorers found lakes covered with oil seeping from holes in the ground. Indians and traders skimmed it off for their cook fires, scooped up fistfuls of the rich black muck to waterproof their boots. But to commercial oilmen, the potential of the Great Slave oil has long been only a tantalizing dream. No one had much encouragement until this year. Then Phillips Petroleum...
Geological Whodunit. Behind all the excitement, which has sent Canadian oil stocks gushing up as much as 70% in recent months, is a geological thriller to rival any detective story. Back in 1921 Imperial Oil Ltd., Jersey Standard's Canadian subsidiary, tried to tap Great Slave's potential with a test well at Windy Point on the western tip of the huge lake far up in Canada's frozen Northwest Territories. The area was littered with natural oil seeps oozing from a rock strata identified as Devonian limestone. But as so often happens when oil-bearing strata...
...northwest Canada's wilderness-and convince oilmen of its treasures-is Frank M. McMahon, 54, chairman of Pacific Petroleums Ltd. and president of Westcoast Transmission, whose new 650-mile pipeline will start carrying gas this fall from the Peace River area to Vancouver and the U.S. border. The Canadian-born son of a wandering hard-rock miner, Oilman McMahon quit college to become a prospector himself, bounced from drilling rig to drilling rig until the 1940s, when he moved into the Peace River area above Edmonton in search of gas and oil. When the provincial government lifted leasehold restrictions...
