...learn, because staying awake prevents it. The next day you won't be able to remember any of it, and you certainly will not be able to use any of it in the future -it is not part of you." A group of researchers at the University of Ottawa showed the same role of sleep in integrating recently learned material into long-term memory: among students enrolled in an intensive language course, those who were learning had an increase in REM sleep; those who were unable to learn had no such increase...
Reporter-Researcher Jay Rosenstein, a sports buff and once a member of a Navy Officers' Candidate School swimming team that he calls "the worst," did the main reporting on the Olympic action, with assistance from Stringer Bill Carroll on the gymnastics events. Ottawa Bureau Chief John Scott covered the political storms that blew up.

Unfortunately, it was not until late May that Ottawa got around to telling the I.O.C. of its intentions. By that time, 42 Taiwanese athletes were already packing their bags for Montreal.

Canada also has a variety of bilateral exchange agreements with the mainland regime. A certain amount of stupidity was also involved. Canada massively miscalculated the outcry that would follow...
...eight-day run. With former American Ballet Theater President Sherwin Goldman joining in as coproducer, Porgy this week begins a six-week engagement at Philadelphia's Academy of Music, and after that it will move to the Wolf Trap center outside Washington, D.C., then to Toronto and Ottawa. If enough people like it during the tour, Porgy will come to Broadway in the fall, where it ran for 124 performances in 1935-36 and again for 305 performances...
