Three Canadian newspapers-the Toronto, Ont., Globe and Mail, the Kingston, Ont., Whig-Standard and the Regina, Sask., Leader-Post-dropped the pig-goat sequence. (As a substitute the Globe and Mail reprised a Pogo swampland series from the 1940s.) In the U.S., the Toledo Blade temporarily killed Kelly. And in Tokyo, the English language Asahi Evening News, having run the sequence for 11 days, agreed to drop the rest of it after a protest from the Soviet embassy...

But in the stormy process, he has built National from a 142-mile mail run into the nation's seventh biggest air carrier. Last week, with National's skies sunnier than ever before-the company's first-quarter earnings this year were almost $3,000,000, v. a $1,400,000 deficit a year ago-hardhitting Ted Baker abruptly sold out to a man with whom...
