Weather permitting, he walks, at 11 each morning, around his property, occasionally carrying bread crumbs for his birds and chickens. He inspects his delicately manicured lawn and the garden, one segment of which forms a floral fleur-de-lis, the symbol of French royalty. After 40 minutes, the general is back at his desk in his book-lined study. As he edits manuscripts, he extends his right index finger along the contoured body of the fountain pen to its tip.

Then there are the extremists, who call themselves the Quebec Liberation Army, and have been planting bombs in mailboxes, dynamiting army installations and looting armories.
