Liberal Party leader Lester B. Pearson will almost certainly succeed Diefenbaker as the Prime Minister of Canada. He has taken an uncompromising stand on the two gravest issues: biculturalism and nuclear arms policy. Although Pearson's pro-nuclear posture will offend some of the pacifist French Canadians, his recognition of the importance of the French role in Confederation should overcome any serious opposition. In addition, Liberal Jean Lesage, Premier of Quebec, has consented to aid the national party's cause in the providence. His popularity will draw undecided voters into Liberal's ranks. The key to a Liberal victory...

But at the same time, the American government has provided an example of that high-handed diplomatic bullying upon which anti-Americanism among U.S. allies feeds. Even Pearson condemns the insulting U.S. note...
...dirge. First there was Financier Leopold Silberstein, who began building the company in 1951 with grandiose plans for its future. Then there was Corporate Raider Alfons Landa, who after a proxy battle forced out Silberstein in 1958. Landa brought with him a former publicity man and legman for Drew Pearson named David Karr, who deftly worked his way into the president's chair when Landa vacated it in 1959. Karr then moved himself up to chairman and brought in George A. Strichman from International Telephone & Telegraph Corp. to be president. Last week it was Karr's turn...
