...Parliament Red Room, seated in two thrones under a huge wooden crucifix, they heard Provincial Premier Maurice Duplessis read a speech of welcome in both English and French, since Canada is officially bilingual under its Constitution. When presentations began, in a room packed with Dominion officials, grand dames, colorful monsignori and sandaled monks, the first man to be presented was Rodrigue Cardinal Villeneuve, the spiritual head of 89% of Quebec's people. The Cardinal gave the King's hand a lingering, fatherly patting...
...perhaps more famous than themselves-the Dionne Quintuplets. What happened history will enjoy longer than any other episode of this trip.

It may have some beautiful Technicolor which almost succeeds in capturing the sweep of the Kansas plains. It may have Errol Flynn, whose drawing-room polish didn't come from western saddle soap. But it is still a horse-opera. It has the spirit of the old western epic, with the invincible hero who single-handed oan send packing every bad man in town, with beautiful...
