Canada\u2019s best hope for a new fighter jet lies in a fabled design of the past \u2014 the Avro Arrow, according to an ambitious proposal by a business group who want to see the legendary aircraft take flight once again. For all the nostalgia, defence analyst Martin Shadwick<\/strong>, a lecturer and research associate at York University, told the Toronto Star<\/em> Sept. 10 that he doubts a renewed Arrow will take to the skies, saying the half century that has passed since its first flight would dictate a complete and costly redesign.

U.S. Open: Why not all tennis balls are alike<\/a><\/strong>
\nThere are approximately 70,000 tennis balls used each year at the U.S. Open, reported the Toronto Star Sept. 10. According to Michael Mitchell<\/strong>, a York University tennis coach who has studied the game for 25 years, the reason so many balls are used at top tournaments is to ensure the fuzz quotient remains constant, with worn balls tending to travel and spin much faster. He says, however, that the ball is suited to each game: with the regular, \u201chard-court felt\u201d tending to slow down the men\u2019s game and the lighter-felted balls speeding up the women\u2019s.
