Nasser spared few of his Arab brothers his scorn. He attacked King Feisal of Saudi Arabia as an "Anglo-American agent" who is "like a snake seeking to bite." He dismissed King Hussein of Jordan as "an employee of the CIA." Classifying his foes under the Communist label of "imperialistic stooges," he also called President Habib Bourguiba of Tunisia and the Shah of Iran "only the tools of America." He accused members of the federal government of Aden of being "traitors and agents" and called upon them to resign and do penance. Traveling further afield, he claimed that West Germany...
...what was seen but what was read-and by the French-speaking audiences at that. The furor concerned the Britishmade film Ulysses (TIME, March 31). which carried subtitles in French. A few of James Joyce's occasional vulgarisms failed to travel well in translation. One familiar Anglo-Saxon phrase, for example, was accompanied by a subtitle that read Mon anus royal Irlandais! Other subtitles, which by necessity were shortened to keep pace with the spoken dialogue, carried little of the poetic fantasy and whimsy of Joyce's writing. Apparently offended more by the crude translations than...
...nearly one-third of the population and live chiefly in Quebec. British merchants, traders and settlers followed after Quebec was captured by the British in 1759, their numbers enhanced after 1776 by immigrant American colonials who preferred British rule to U.S. independence.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, millions more came: Germans and Swedes to fish and till the prairies; Ukrainians, now the fourth largest group in Canada, to found towns with unlikely New World names like Dnieper and New Kiev...
...most stunning reason for pride. Montreal, Canada's largest metropolis, with 2,400,000 people, is agleam with new office buildings, hotels, theaters, boutiques (one soon to be opened by Mary Quant) and more miniskirts per square thigh than New York. Toronto (pop. 2,100,000), the Anglo-Saxon's answer to French Montreal, is richer, and rebuilding itself even faster. Both are youthful cities: half of Canada's population is under...
Though Mayor Yorty has installed a Spanish-speaking complaint bureau in city hall, Los Angeles' government is still overwhelmingly Anglo in makeup. Last week, Bravo and one of his Angeleno protégés, Valley State College Historian Julian Nava, 39, were making the first major effort to alter that situation. Running with Bravo's backing for the nonpartisan school board, Nava-the son of an indigent harp maker and winner of a Bravo scholarship loan to finish Harvard-was coursing the city in his green Volkswagen in a catalytic campaign against Incumbent Charles Reed Smoot...
