Bobby Bourne, a lanky winger from Kindersley, Saskatoon, who wanted to play baseball when he grew up, ended a game best described as absurd when he intercepted a Terry O'Reilly clearing pass and blasted a slapshot past goaltender Gerry Cheevers from 60 feet out after only 1:24 of sudden-death...
...Think House. One reason for Rolls's pre-eminence lies in the fact that the company is run by engineers who have never compromised their technical standards to increase profit margins. Rolls-Royce's chairman, aloof Lord Kindersley, 63, is a banker who also presides over

Sir John Simon, then Chancellor of the Exchequer, said that the patriotic motive was enough to make people save. But time proved him wrong. The Exchequer has partially adopted compulsory savings. Next autumn automatic wage deferments (on a complex sliding scale) will begin in Britain...
