...softened and rolled into a ball; others were microdotted, i.e., whole pages of printing were reduced on film to pinhead size. On occasions there were personal meetings, such as contacts on the 21st day of each month, when Hayhanen wore a red-striped bow tie and smoked a pipe. One time he met a former member of Russia's U.N. delegation, received information in a movie-house men's room...
...quiet, young (43), round-faced Alberta oil millionaire last week became the largest single stockholder in Trans-Canada Pipe Lines Ltd., the vast and controversial enterprise that will bring Western gas to Eastern Canada. In Manhattan, Calgary Oilman Robert Arthur Brown Jr. bought the last of Tennessee Gas Transmission Co.'s Trans-Canada holdings, giving his fast-rising Home Oil Co. Ltd. a 12% holding in Trans-Canada (v. Texas Oilman Clint Murchison's 8%. and British American Oil's 5%). By buying out Tennessee at upwards of $25 a share, Bobby Brown replaced Tennessee...
...satellite (less than one-eighth as heavy as Russia's claim for Sputnik). The stretched-out schedule calls for launching smaller test satellites late this year, orbiting the first 21½-lb. ball next spring.

...raincoats flown in from Vancouver. Eight chartered buses, which had churned through a blizzard from Edmonton to get there on time, took them to Westcoast Transmission's huge gas-scrubbing plant (TIME, Sept. 2). Then, at the turn of a valve, gas roared through the 30-in. pipe heading south for Vancouver, and a gas flame leaped symbolically skyward. Said Frank McMahon: "So far it has all been going out. Now it will start coming...
...Forgotten Man. It is a plain tale with an ancient theme. A young schoolmaster, Dmitri Lopatkin. invents a machine for making drainpipes. He sends the drawing of his new centrifugal pipe-casting machine to the responsible bureau, receives friendly encouragement and has his project submitted to "expert" opinion. Promptly things start going wrong. Lopatkin, who has given up schoolteaching and is now wholly dedicated to the cause of drainpipery, falls victim to a mysterious bureaucratic runaround. Months and years pass in a silence punctuated only by official notifications: "It is not considered possible . . ." "Your complaint has been forwarded to . . ." Occasionally...
