...almost gone by the time we were over Viet Nam. The setting sun bathed the clouds in orange as the pilot, Major John Thigpen, 38, of Windsor, N.C., banked his B-52 into the bomb run. Below him, on the lower deck, the bombardier-navigator, Major Leonard Harris, 39, of Atlanta, hunched behind his radarscope, adjusting the scanner, like a television cameraman, until it gave him a moving, living map of partially cloud-obscured plantation country northwest of Saigon. Under that cover was the target, a suspected troop concentration. Everything had to go right the first time. The slightest navigational...
...reason for this is that most of the cars, manufactured by Canadian subsidiaries of U.S. automakers, are indistinguishable from American models. Chrysler makes Plymouths and Dodges in its plant in Windsor, Ont., and ships them all over the U.S. Midwest. General Motors assembles Chevrolets at a new plant at Íle Sainte Thérèse, near Montreal, for sale in New England. Mercurys manufactured in Ford's Oakville plant near Toronto are sold in New York. Even smaller American Motors gets into the act, builds cars at Brampton, Ont., for the U.S. market...
There are also advantages for the U.S. automakers, particularly when it comes to imposing economies of mass production on their Canadian operations. Where Chrysler previously had to turn out relatively small quantities of six different models at its Windsor plant, for example, it currently uses that facility to manufacture just two models, the Dodge Polara and Plymouth Fury-both of them in volume.

...years, his salon on Avenue George-V was the very citadel of haute-couture, and Cristobal Balenciaga, 73, was its lofty priest. The son of a Basque fisherman, Balenciaga created a legend rich in grace and splendor; elegant women-the Duchess of Windsor, Barbara Hutton, Queen Fabiola-cloaked themselves in the simple yet sumptuous designs that were his trademark. Thus the entire fashion world lost some of its sheen last week at the news that the House of Balenciaga is closing. Some said he is simply bored; others claimed that his disdain for "commercialism" and contemporary styles had caused business...
...finger waving, Vellucci opens fire: "Mister Rudolph, we held up that money so you could come in here and tells us about," the councillor pauses for emphasis, "WIN-sor Street." Heavy traffic on Windsor was Vellucci's opener last Monday, but the councillor soon moved on to other favorites--a stop sign at 4th and Hurley, a traffic light at 6th and Gore. After a while Vellucci got tired and said "I have a big long list, but I'll save it for another night when we'll make you the big star here." Rudolph was lucky that time; only...
