...security and uncovering is members. If there were any truth or logic to what the Trudeau government was doing, it would have outlawed the FLQ only if it knew precisely the people in the FLQ whom it was looking for and then sought them out with a minimum of dispatch.

Beer at $1.40. On the first day, New York Timesman Eric Pace managed to get the U.S. embassy on the phone to dictate a pool dispatch. In the middle of a second dispatch, the line went dead. Soon the hotel-and indeed the whole city-was without electricity or running water. The hotel bar shut down, but an enterprising employee did a brisk business in Jordanian beer at $1.40 a bottle...
