Center Stage. Wherever he goes, from supermarket to packing plant, fairground to factory, Reagan far outdraws his rival, Democratic Governor "Pat" Brown, 61, who is seeking a third four-year term.

Pittsburgh's present high schools cannot fulfill these basic requirements. The secondary plant is crowded, racially segregated, old, and lacking in facilities and sites adequate for the educational program of grades 9-12.

Farther to the north, construction crews swarmed over the superstructure of a $230 million Great Canadian Oil Sands Ltd. processing plant that next year will begin tapping the Athabaska tar sands-an oozing black oilfield the size of Maine, which contains as much petroleum as all the world's proven reserves...
...part of the celebrations, 2,500 cities and towns have adopted civic projects that range from Ottawa's plan to plant 70,000 flowering crab apple trees to a Japanese garden in Lethbridge, Alta., that expects to get a school of royal carp from Emperor Hirohito's moat. Athletically, Canada will be host to no fewer than 17 international competitions, from snowshoeing (in Ottawa) to water skiing (in Sherbrooke, Que.) to the Pan American games in Winnipeg...
