They suffered from an identity crisis well before modern novelists discovered the condition, and their sense of no-self could fill half a dozen Antonioni movies. "We have achieved the most amazing things," says Prime Minister Lester Pearson, "a few million people opening up half a continent. But we have not yet found a Canadian soul except in time...

The same day, a U.S. Supreme Court ruling opened the way to a retrial for two Louisiana Negroes who have been awaiting electrocution since 1953 for the rape of a white woman. In Florida, a Federal District Court judge ordered a rare stay of execution for all of the state...
