...same one Maurice Duplessis bequeathed. Where Duplessis endlessly battled Canada's federal government with the cry of provincial autonomy, Sauve had already restored reason to Quebec's relations with Ottawa.

(Each will remain on station for three months while the other is on shore leave or in training.) An electrolytic generator will manufacture the ship's oxygen supply, and a diagnostic computer will check out every missile and every major subsystem to provide instant intelligence about malfunctioning equipment...
