...Pearson's opposition Liberals, controlling 100 seats and sensing that their time is ripe, are equally keen to bring the Tories down for an election, if possible before Christmas. The government's life thus hangs by the thread of approval of two minor parties that hold the tender balance of power: the right-wing Social Credit (30 seats) and the socialist New Democratic (18 seats), whose loud disdain for Tory policies is matched only by their desire to play for time before a new election...
...frail, cane-carrying composer, whose symphonic ballets were branded "corrupt and bourgeois" during Stalin's day, it was an emotional homecoming. "I left Czarist Russia and have returned to the Soviet Union, which I greet," said Stravinsky in Russian. "It is a great joy." After a tender meeting with a niece he had known only through an exchange of letters, Stravinsky was helped into a limousine and whisked in a motorcade to his hotel, where, fortified with vodka and caviar, he worked over the scores for three concerts with the Moscow Symphony Orchestra, which will play excerpts from...
...find ways to check insect pests by tricks of cultivation. They import the ancient enemies of invading foreign insects and foster the resident enemies of native pests. They are developing bacterial diseases to spread pestilence among insect populations.

More than 100 spectator boats were on hand two days later as Nefertiti and Weatherly jockeyed for the start of their own elimination race. A balmy 12-knot breeze riffled the Atlantic. Aboard a tender, members of the Race Committee, which had laid out a 24-mile windward-leeward course, checked their chronometers and studied the 12-meters through binoculars. A superb boat in light air, Weatherly was already the commanding favorite. Deftly, Mosbacher beat Ted Hood to the start, had a three-length lead crossing the line. He increased the margin until at the finish Weatherly was 13 boat...
