Regarding your decision to increase Canadian news coverage, may I be allowed a word of congratulation. Canada is not an important country, terrestrially speaking, but economically and politically the destinies of our two countries are bound to become increasingly interwoven. Therefore it is essential that we understand each other. These bitter days were in a large measure induced by insularity, by the failure of supposedly adult nations to know the world and the peoples therein-their ideals, their culture, their hopes and dreams...
...Interwoven in pulverizing succession came heavy raids, on Bremen (1,200 tons) by the Eighth, on Berlin (1,120 tons) and Frankfurt (2,250 tons) by the R.A.F. Before the Frankfurt raid, Canadian squadrons in a whip-smart feint slashed at nearby Mannheim, drawing the Luftwaffe into the skies.

...sharp-eyed, sharp-tongued Englishwoman who dominated the colony), and into the future (since Gisele's brother Jacques is befriended and made over by the English in a ceaseless attempt to win him and his precious talents to their side). The plots and subplots that are interwoven with this main theme are weakened by a dreamy inconsequentiality; they seem to evaporate in the hot dry air like figures of Indian magic climbing the thin rope of the story and disappearing. For the spell of Indigo is hypnotic...
