...Canada, to find work. Two years ago, the government put together an appealing package. To the foreign industrialist, it grants a ten-year tax exemption on export profits and offers to pay the full cost of training the workers (average wage: $29 for a 44-hr, week), plus 50% of the cost of the machinery and up to one-half of the cost of building a plant. In addition, it will pay the full cost of building plants in the underdeveloped western counties. To companies locating plants in the customs-free port in Shannon, it gives a tax holiday...
...rolling 120 acres outside Buffalo last week, engineers started planning the construction of a $12.5 million apartment hotel and a cluster of small cottages, to be called Rockledge.

For the weary pedagogue, home from The Gallic War, it provides surcease of solecism and a welcome chuckle. It might even make a suitable Latin text in a progressive school...
...some redoubtable opportunities for Christmasmanship-what better gift for the child who has everything? And for just any old reader with two years of Latin somewhere in his past and Junior's copy of Winnie-the-Pooh in his other hand, the Lenard translation will readily provide a week or so of verbal fun and fireside games-a contribution to nursery literature that can only be compared to E. L. Kerney's translation of Alice in Wonderland into Esperanto...
