...likely to risk his money in the future on such a oneway street, South African industry will now have to rely solely on the nation's already pinched capital market for new funds. The announcement came only two weeks after South Africa had inserted a lavish, 24-page booklet into the Sunday New York Times, advertising its "favorable investment climate" and pointing out the bargains available, since "stocks have reached new highs on every exchange in the free world with one exception, the Johannesburg Stock Exchange...
...John Diefenbaker's Tory government is Canadianization. Seeking to build a specific Canadian identity in the shadow of its overpowering U.S. neighbor, Diefenbaker has called for Canadianization of industry, of investment, of natural resources. Last week Canadianization was applied to a new area: the press. In a 263-page report, a Royal Commission set up by the government nine months ago recommended strict penalties against "foreign" magazines sold in Canada.

...their product is a weird paste-up. Many of the critical hours and major problems of the 100 days are glossed over or overlooked. Laos is dismissed with four pictures. The Cuban invasion (which occurred on the 87th day of the new Administration) is reduced to a frantic, one-page epilogue. The book is stuffed with boiler-plate material-photo essays on starving Congolese and primitive Ecuadorians that are technically brilliant but utterly irrelevant. And there are glaringly misleading statements, such as Barbara Ward's "Asia, apart from pockets of territory such as Goa, is free...
