...pacifist who has earned a decoration for gallantry in battle, an anarchist who has been a successful bureaucrat, a farmer's son who is famous as an exponent of esthetic theory, a spokesman for the avant-garde who can nevertheless write in praise of an idyllic past. The typical Englishman who is all these things is Sir Herbert Read, 69, a highly singular man who needs not one but four autobiographies to do justice to his talent for plural living...

Although Pearson's pro-nuclear posture will antagonize some pacifist French-Canadians, he has softened the possible effects by stating his position in terms of Canada's responsibility and commitments to NATO and NORAD. In addition, Pearson's genuine concern for the problem of Confederation, the co-existence of the English and French in equality, will endear...
