...Eyed Wurlitzer. François Dallegret's La Machine is a far heftier entree. A Frenchman, now designing for Montreal's Expo 67, Dallegret has designed a device that looks like a giant metal steeplechase hurdle, weighs half a ton, and is priced at $27,000. It consists of two slender beams of anodized aluminum, 30 ft. long by 2 ft. high, braced between uprights. A cool piece of pure structure, the object has all the contemplative imagery of an I beam, but it has an inner electronic life. The narrow six-inch gap between the aluminum beams...
...world's fair are planning, imagination, architecture and money. All these are clearly beginning to show at Expo 67, the Canadian World's Fair now being built on a pair of islands, one man-made and one man-enlarged, in the St. Lawrence River opposite Montreal. Comparisons are inevitable with New York's fair, which was good fun, particularly in its imaginative displays of industrial show business, but never really made the grade.

...expected to start next spring at about $550 for a roundtrip economy 21-day excursion. Pan Am will probably put Boeing 707s on the route. Aeroflot will most likely use the massive TU-114s that it flew last week in initiating an Aeroflot-Air Canada service between Moscow and Montreal. As part of the U.S.-Soviet terms, the Russians had to agree to upgrade baggage and passenger handling and other deficiencies at their end. This should work no great hardship since-in the face of an open passenger and pilot revolt-Aeroflot would probably have had to improve itself anyway...
