...Looser Reins. On the eve of its 100th birthday, Canada is surging with unprecedented prosperity-a prosperity that its American next-door neighbor is scarcely aware of. That ignorance is doubly ironic since it is largely because of U.S. capital investment-$8 billion in the past decade-that the Canadian boom was launched. Much of that ignorance will be dissipated during 1967, Canada's centennial year, when Americans in considerable numbers will head north of the border to visit Expo 67, the Canadian world's fair in Montreal. Just how considerable is far from clear. Expo has counted...
When Johnson failed to reappoint conservative C. Canby Balderston to the seven-man board, there was some thought that he might recast the Federal Reserve to swing it toward looser credit. Last week, however, the President appointed Assistant Commerce Secretary Andrew F. Brimmer, the board's first Negro member, who seems unlikely to change its apparent inclination toward restriction. Brimmer, 39, a Harvard Ph.D., is a onetime economist at the New York Federal Reserve Bank and is known as cautious and moderate in money matters...
...other Soviet satrapy. Instead of Marx's hoary notion of giving "to each according to his needs," it is tending toward Soviet Economist Evsei Liberman's philosophy of reward according to efficiency.

Next, he brought Lee Kuan Yew in from a golfing holiday in the Cameron highlands, bluntly told him that the only solution to the racial tensions was the secession of Malaysia. Stunned, Lee argued for a looser federation as a compromise solution. But the Tunku was adamant. In Singapore, Lee went on TV to explain Singapore's expulsion. As he described his "anguish" at signing the secession paper, he broke into tears, an exhibition that startled those viewers who think of him as a brilliant...
While Cal was welcoming Heyns, some of the looser ends of last winter's disorder were being tied up in Berkeley municipal court, where Judge Rupert Crittenden was passing out jail sentences of up to 90 days, most of them suspended, and fines ranging from $50 to $300 to some 754 convicted campus rebels. Nearly half of them informed Crittenden that they would not accept a probationary condition that he also imposed: to refrain from any more illegal demonstrations for up to two years. The judge responded with tougher sentences, generally the option of paying higher fines or going...
