...Britons wheezing and snuffling through the midwinter vapors, Conductor Sir John Barbirolli, who plans to commute transatlantically between the Houston Symphony and the Hallé Orchestra of Manchester, prescribed his podium-tested cold cure: "Put on two pullovers. Stand on a chair. Turn the wireless onto a symphony concert and conduct like mad with a poker or pencil for an hour or so. The cold, I guarantee, will have vanished by the last movement."

Kennedy studied it, looked up from the report and told Samuelson...

Alberta Premier Ernest Manning charges the federal government with "catering to a small element of bigoted nationalists" in a way that could only bring harm to the Canadian economy. Many businessmen, particularly oilmen, who need big chunks of investment capital, argue that Canadians do not have the funds to finance major projects themselves. Calgary's Oilweek trade bible cited as a typical case a nearly completed, $90 million financing by Canadian-owned Alberta Gas Trunk Line Co. Ltd. for a pipeline-gathering system...
