Everything seemed to be right. The riding had been Liberal for more than half a century. The party's candidate was Sorel's young (34), personable Gerard Cournoyer, law partner and political heir apparent of the late P. J. A. Cardin, who had not been beaten in 35 years. Furthermore, the opposition looked feeble. The Union des Electeurs had put up Roland Corbeil, a Social Crediter. The Progressive Conservative was Etienne Duhamel, who was a candidate only because of the new Progressive Conservative policy of entering a runner, no matter how lame, in every race...
...Much?" One night last week Manhattan Architect Wallace Harrison, who had helped build Rockefeller Center for the Rockefellers, walked into Manhattan's jangling, spangly Monte Carlo where Bill Zeckendorf was just beginning to enjoy himself. It was his sixth wedding anniversary, his partner's 34th birthday. Architect Harrison had a map of Manhattan in his hand. Ringing Zeckendorf's East Side site with a pencil, he asked: "How much?"

The British anxiety over their dependence on the "reckless" U.S. may be exaggerated or dead wrong, but it is, in view of their own position, understandable...
...Burr as the symbol of anti-democratic thinking. Madison, on the other hand, suddenly personifies not only the Will-of-the-People but also True Love. As the wife of Secretary of State Madison, Dolly (Ginger), looking far too regal ever to have been Fred Astaire's hoofing partner, sweeps into the White House to act as widower President Jefferson's official hostess. There the film leaves her-happily rehearsing her future role as the nation's real First Lady...
