...come from the other side. Twice last fall American immigration officials charged only with checking those coming from Canada to the United States stopped two suspicious-looking young men going into Quebec and ran thorough checks on their draft statuses. The Montreal Council to Aid War Resisters screamed to Ottawa, Ottawa screamed to the United States, and there seems little likelihood of a repetition of the incidents...
James Albert Rosenquist, 34, the Rubens of the billboards, is doing equally well on this side of the Atlantic. The sometime sign painter from Grand Forks, N.

Planting herself like an avenging Athena in front...
