...plans to spend more than $5 billion to produce oil from heavy crude. These projects may be stretched out if some recent finds of conventional petroleum elsewhere prove more financially attractive. Some oilmen believe that two offshore strikes, in the Arctic's Beaufort Sea and along the Newfoundland coast, could prove to be of Middle East proportions...
...polarization was reflected in the province-by-province tallies. The Liberals held their own in the impoverished prov inces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland. In Quebec, Trudeau easily recaptured his home riding (district) in Montreal, and the Liberals won a smashing victory. A stunning 61.9% of the popular vote and 67 of the province's 75 parliamentary seats fell into Liberal hands...
...atmosphere. But about one-third of the station will rain down in a shower of some 500 fragments along a track up to 6,440 km (4,000 miles) long and 160 km (100 miles) wide. Its location: somewhere in a broad, globe-girdling belt as far north as Newfoundland and as far south as the tip of South America. About 75% of that area is water, and much of the land is sparsely inhabited. Thus the danger is slight; NASA believes that "the probability of injury or damage is less than that from meteorites." Astronomer Brian Marsden...

Even if the coin is Norwegian, he said, it may have been brought to the site from a Viking settlement in Newfoundland, not by Norsemen but by seagoing Indians.

To stave off a possible stampede of runic treasure hunters who might indeed turn Blue Hill into a facsimile of Trillin's Berryville, Maine officials want the area around the Indian...

By Monday evening, with all going well, the balloonists were 600 miles northeast of St. John's, Newfoundland, flying at 15,000 ft. The temperature was down to zero in the gondola, but angora long Johns and a portable heater kept the men from suffering frostbite. Their menus, chosen by their wives, consisted of a breakfast of hot coffee or cocoa with doughnuts and raisins; high-protein sardines...
