...going to put all sin in the criminal code?" he asked them. "If so, it would be a pretty thick book. The state has no business in the nation's bedrooms." At a Liberal Party convention in April, this kind of talk earned for Trudeau the rapt gaze of a nationwide TV audience. He outmaneuvered a brigade of party veterans to replace the retiring Pearson as Prime Minister. Then, while the nation was still dazzled by his convention victory, he gambled on dissolving Parliament and seeking his own mandate in an election...

...King's Arms, where costumed waiters slightly self-consciously ask the guests if they want their napkins tied around their necks, 18th century style.

Traditional folk singers-including the modern figure of Bob Dylan-have usually been purveyors of a musical heritage, chroniclers of their time, protesters against injustice.
