People read TIME to get the news of their day. And the span of TIME in Canada since 1943 has covered a burgeoning of industry, finance and population in the country.

Today we have bureaus not only in Ottawa, but also in Toronto and Montreal. In addition, we now have a network of 30 part-time correspondents, from the Yukon to Newfoundland, who help insure our getting the best...

Attlee could walk with Dante through hell and emerge remarking that "different people had different tastes, but it did seem rather...
...Cuba, an old playmate of Actress Gardner's was having a quieter time. Retired Bullfighter Luis Miguel Dominguín, Ava's escort in Spain and her guest later in Reno, was visiting with Author-Sports man Ernest Hemingway. Dominguin and white-bearded "Papa" put on cool shorts and tossed a hunting lance around for a while, but spent most of their visit together hunting fish...
