Brief Happiness. The auto pact was concluded by President Lyndon Johnson and Prime Minister Lester Pearson to help give Canadian subsidiaries of Detroit's automakers a fairer share of the total North American market.

Said Canada's former Prime Minister Lester Pearson: "Not only did he not suffer fools gladly, he did not suffer them at all." "A good many members of Congress didn't like me," said Acheson. "This didn't bother me at all. I didn't care whether they liked me or didn't like...
