Steel Bands & Chowder. Among the industry pavilions, top drawer is the Telephone Association of Canada, with its Walt Disney-made movie, prosaically titled Canada '67, which uses a 360° to tal-involvement screen to project the spectators into the middle of a furious National League hockey game.

Her hero is a young, hypersensitive Southern Negro named David, a genius, jazz virtuoso and cripple, who makes his way from a dresser-drawer crib in New Orleans to Harvard and Oxford, and back to the civil rights battlegrounds of the South. Her white characters, including a college cutup named Sudsy Sutherland and a heavy called OP Clete, seem to derive more from The Hardy Boys than from life; her Negro dialect is echt...
