...airlifted Moroccan troops to the border. Despite U.S. official denials, the accusation seemed at least partially accurate. Four days before the fighting broke put, pilots of the U.S. Air Force training mission in Morocco ferried troops in six C-119s and C-47s to Marrakech, 300 miles from the frontier. Belatedly realizing that a border war was in the making, the U.S. hastily ended the operation...
...Frontier. In Montreal last week to reveal to Quebec the full extent of its spiritual and material inheritance were Minister of State for Cultural Affairs André Malraux and 130 top French businessmen and officials. The occasion: a $1,000,000 science-and-industry Exposition Française, the biggest business fair ever held in Montreal.

But west of the Appalachians, the frontier settlements found themselves still at war. Indians, supplied and encouraged by the British, attacked forts, raided settlements and terrorized isolated settlers. The British, with well-conceived malice aforethought, were trying hard to stem the westward surge of the energetic new Americans.
