...hundredweight of gear,* the muzzles of their rifles still taped to keep out gunk, the scouts took advantage of distant artillery salvos to mask their footfalls on the way back to a prearranged retrieval zone. Brown, in the lead, groped his way back through the blackness by memorizing the map and counting his own steps; each time his left foot hit the ground 67 times, he calculated the team had covered 100 meters. Back at the landing zone, Brown's whispered message filtered into the PRC transceiver: "Four seven, this is Papa Two. I'm in trouble. This...

Much of the awakening is due to vigorous Government participation in the arts, such as Canada's imaginative National Film Board, which has put Canadian documentaries on the world cinema map. But what Canada has wrought physically remains its most stunning reason for pride.
