...Second, by the grace of God of the United Kingdom, Canada and her other realms and territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith." When the Queen's silver Cornet touches down at Newfoundland's St. John's Airport this week, she will whisk into an itinerary that, for all the press of excited planning across Canada, hews to cozy informality.

A Negro youngster collecting hurdles at the trackside watched the runners whisk past and chuckled softly: "Look like those cats think it's the 440. Some-thin's gotta give...
Milwaukee-born Actor Alfred Lunt, 64, proud holder of a diploma from Paris' Cordon Bleu cooking school, discussed his newly acquired souffle secrets with the New York Times: "Egg whites are beaten by hand with a wire whisk or not at all. You beat and beat. Of course, you may drop dead in the end, but no matter. I don't understand why American cookbooks state 'beat until stiff but still moist.' That's nonsense. We beat the daylights out of them and turn out the finest souffles you've ever tasted...
