...Robert Stanfield, the sensible but restrained former premier of Nova Scotia, may have irrevocably changed the pace and style of Canadian politics. In a DC-9 jet and a helicopter, Trudeau bounced around the country as if it were the size of Rhode Island. Wherever he went, he brought glamour, style, movement. Matrons as well as teeny-boppers flocked to his side. He stressed participation, involvement, brought together a campaign army of talented, worshipful political amateurs as well as old pros.

(for Lawrence) Alioto, 52, the millionaire son of an immigrant Sicilian fisherman.* Last week, a scant 2½ months after assuming office, Joe Alioto was well on the way to opening the Golden Gate...
...screen personality all her own. She first drew U.S. viewers' notice as Sidney Poitier's admiring teacher friend in To Sir, with Love, then as the terrorized hostage of The Penthouse. In her two latest films, she displays a widening range, an ability to mix comedy, glamour and poignancy, that eerily evokes memories of her late namesake, Kay Kendall...
