...socialist. At the same time, he wants Canada's growing welfare state to be administered in a more businesslike way. Like Pearson-and unlike Diefenbaker-Stanfield believes broadly in warmer relations with the U.S. and more foreign investment in Canada. With his accession, the Conservative Party's main power base will automatically shift from Diefenbaker's Western prairies to the Atlantic provinces. Stanfield will also pay more attention to Ontario and Quebec, Canada's two biggest provinces, which were long neglected under Diefenbaker...
...test of action. First they fired Surveyor's vernier engines for 33 seconds to consume more fuel and reduce the craft's landing weight. New instructions were radioed to Surveyor's memory bank and programmed into ground-based computers. As a result, the craft's main retrorocket began firing at a height of 26 miles above the lunar surface, instead of the originally planned 52 miles. It shut off at an altitude of only 4,400 ft., instead of 40,000 ft., after braking Surveyor's 6,000-m.p.h. approach speed to only 67 m.p.h...
...room. To achieve the weird effects on Sgt. Pepper, they spent as much as 20 hours on a song, often working through the night.

What, specifically, was the challenger's main problem? Sighed Sturrock: "The hull." Why hadn't Jock tried to backwind the U.S.'s Intrepid at the start? "On the performance of the two boats, I don't think it would have made very much difference." What was his overall impression of Pattie? "Theoretically, she was designed for winds of twelve to 14 knots, but I would...
Nook Talk. Inside, the center is splen-diferously outfitted, from the enclosed semicircular staircase leading up from its parking lot to the cloud-physics laboratory on the roof. The main floor includes a dining terrace and an internal courtyard with a reflecting pool. On other floors are networks of offices and labs, with instruments and a computer to assemble and analyze data collected on N.C.A.R. field trips and at observation stations all over the world...
