...televised report to the nation. Widespread in the U.S. was a sense of a future, a sense of changes astir. Just beyond the threshold of a new decade, the nation looked ahead to a presidential election. And it seemed unmis- takably clear that the events of the recent past, climaxing in the summit blowup, had brought important changes, that the future would be considerably different from the past, and not necessarily worse...
...Michael Oravec was today given a clean bill of health [at a medical clinic]. The doctors were unable to find any evidence of his having been 'kicked and slugged' at any time in the past few days, as claimed, and stated that he was in excellent physical condition.

They found him crawling on his hands and knees, his back broken...
...Over the past eight years, U.S. tourists in Canada have had to grow accustomed to the irritating fact that their dollar has been worth as little as 95? in Canadian currency. Last week the value of the U.S. dollar skipped up to its highest point in two years: 98.6? in Canadian funds. The narrowing gap between the two dollars reflected a drop in the volume of U.S. investment money entering Canada, which creates a demand for Canadian currency and raises its price in U.S. money. Some bankers were predicting that the two dollars would reach parity this summer...
