Among the 96 passengers debarking at Heathrow Airport from BEA's Lisbon-London Flight 75 was Ramon George Sneyd, who went to the Commonwealth immigration desk and presented his Canadian passport. The immigration official took one look at the document, then asked the bespectacled Sneyd to join him in a back room for some "routine" questions. The interrogation was far from routine.

Another $200 million is on hand as ready cash, including $60 million from a public sale of 600,000 shares of LTV stock last fall.

Often the icebreakers are halted when pressure and friction from trapped floating chunks form a vise along their sides. Now a Canadian inventor, Scott Alexander, 55, has developed a new device that breaks ice upward. The new present seagoing ice plow, called the Alexbow, may well render present-day icebreakers obsolete...
...resurrection of man. Switching on an array of equipment, which included five 16-mm. movie projectors, four slide projectors and two tape recorders, Schillaci depicted passion in a wide variety of forms-refugees suffering in World War II, color images of bikini-clad girls, and motorcycle gangs from a Canadian-produced film entitled Satan's Choice. The sounds of Herb Alpert and Bob Dylan blasted the audience's ears...
