Scientists seem to enjoy making people's flesh creep with predictions of horrible catastrophes-scheduled for millions (or billions) of years in the future. Last week Electrical Engineer Hugh Auchincloss Brown of Douglaston, N.Y. warned (and got his theory broadcast by the normally cautious New York Times') that the earth is about to upset-any minute now-like an overloaded canoe. The trouble, Brown believes, is the weight of ice accumulating in the Antarctic: the earth is bottom-heavy...

Last week Canada woke to some unexpected facts: that all three major Canadian parties will soon hold national conventions, that the two big parties will choose new leaders, and that some months hence they will fight it out in a national election.
