SHORTLY AFTER ARRIVING in New York to cover President Nixon's Veterans Day motorcade through Westchester County, I went to the Hotel Roosevelt Headquarters of the New York Committee to Re-Elect the President to pick up my credentials from the Secret Service.

Such gaffes might have been politically disastrous for Trudeau if he were not pitted against the Canadian whom many would vote most difficult to elect. Robert Stanfield, 58, an able former Premier of Nova Scotia, is eminently qualified for the job of Prime Minister, in every particular except political flair.

A traveling rock band and miniskirted "Stanfield Girls" have been recruited to add color to his campaign -but they are not enough...
