...side, Air Defense Identification Zones (ADIZes) are up to 535 miles deep; on the Canadian side (CADIZes) they are narrower and there is a gap in the prairie belt where the system is not yet in operation. Areas on both sides of the border are rigidly policed. Airmen planning to fly in them must file a flight plan; failure to do so is punishable by a $10,000 fine and a year's imprisonment. Radar stations plot the flight to make sure an expected plane is no more than five minutes off schedule or 20 miles off course...

To date he has completed aerial landform maps of Canada and Arabia, and is at work on one of North Africa. Each one of these maps, which he does on contract...
Lately Raisz has been working on a new development of his which is the closest he has yet come to closing the gap between map and land. Done in colors corresponding to the land, this "land-type" map also shows its configuration and what it is used for. "The Institute's closing down will mean that I won't be able to get much new work on this started," Raisz says. "It's sort of late to get any university teaching job, but I would like to do some teaching soon. I do very much like to teach...
