...hards each year are discovering just how worthwhile the trip can be. They say that the mountain never gets too crowded--a blessing for anyone who has tried Waterville, Stowe, Snow or Killington on a Saturday. And Sugarloaf's got enough apres ski goings on to entertain the rowdiest college groups. The area's group five-day package is among the best offered by any resorts. Finally, if you happen to get there on a day when the East's only snowfields are open, well, that's heaven...

Last week the Commons' rowdiest squall yet burst over Bomarc when word came from Washington that the U.S. Air Force, worried that Bomarc's test failures would delay its operational status until too near the end of the diminishing bomber era, proposed a sweeping switch in spending to other defensive hardware (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS). In the past, Diefenbaker had properly insisted that all Bomarc's failures were minor "nickel-and-dime" malfunctions, and pointed out that the U.S. was spending $500 million on it this year, while Canada had committed only $15 million for work...
