Whether an umpire calls a play correctly or not, he is right, and no amount of technology will make him into a fool-proof play-caller without ruining the spontaneity of the game. Chuck Thompson knew that, and the most he would allow is that it was a "bang-bang" play. It's about time we smash the instant slow-mo replay and the tube along with it, and switch the radio back...
...another side of Trudeau also began to emerge. He grew imperious in his dealings with the Commons, openly sneered at members who disagreed with him (favorite asides: "dope," "blockhead," "fool").

He also makes it clear that his work comes before anything. Of the actresses, he once remarked: "I am no fool. I realize the game. I am their celebrity of the hour, the new man in town.
