Saving Not Building. Since his election, Pearson has been trying hard to repair the disunity. He has given French Canadians a stronger voice in Ottawa, has appointed a Royal Commission on Biculturalism, even modified a new federal, social-security-type pension plan to guarantee Quebec's participation. He conceives of a flag that all Canadians can salute as one more plank in the program, and for good measure, he hopes to substitute O Canada for God Save the Queen as the national anthem...
Hooray! For all the complaints, big and small, A.T.&T. has given the U.S. the world's least frustrating telephone service with the world's most trouble-free gadget. Kappel points out that the average U.S. phone needs a repair only once every five years; except in times of flood or other natural disasters, no A.T.&T. switching office in the past 40 years has been out of order for as long as ten minutes.

...City officials assured Danes that Sculptor Edvard Eriksen's 50-year-old mold had been preserved; the mermaid would be recapitated within the week. Maybe. To earthlings who had come to love the Sea King's daughter, there was little comfort in the thought that welders could repair such wanton carnage. But, of course, The Mermaid is immortal, a creature of foam and sky. If tears were to be shed, they should be for the vandal-or, as Hans Andersen put it, for the "naughty child. And each tear adds a day to the time of our trial...
