Remember we told you about New Brunswick's state-produced Select beer? Well, going into the brewing business isn't the province's only harebrained economic development fail. In 1974 Premier Richard Hatfield provided wealthy Subaru founder Malcolm Bricklin with $4.5 million in financing to produce his new sports car in the province. The Bricklin looked cool. Its cutting-edge design makes it the only vehicle in history to have fully powered gull-wing doorsa feat unmatched by even the DeLorean, which was made famous as Back to the Future's time machine. However, there were problems from the start. Provincial funding was sunk into design costs, not production as Hatfield had expected, so cars were produced at a deficit. To make matters worse, each car cost $16,000 to make, but were somehow sold to dealers for only $5,000. Plus, Bricklin stacked the company with his family members instead of competent employees. Finally, it was revealed that Hatfield's government continued to fund the troubled company to make it appear successful and win reelection. Following the scandal, Hatfield denied the company another $10 million. Bricklin quickly collapsed, filing for bankruptcy in late 1975. Fewer than 1,000 Bricklins were ever produced and they now remain a rare and sought-after collectors car. JR

Be open to change. Academically, your interests may shift. You might keep to some trails, and abandon others. And thats OK. Its all part of the journey. So be open. Move with purpose, yes. But keep that sense of wonder.

During lunch he decides the most important part of a sandwich is the mayonnaise. Is it reasonable to be jealous of your cat? Logic suggests no, yet the feeling persists. Inside the box of old photos and letters he finds a thank-you card but can't remember why he kept it. The angle of sunlight allows each day to be more or less cinematic. Gratefulness is what he finds himself orbiting, because answers seem increasingly impossible. Sam Gerrard
