...Australian to my boot heels." He is an avid sportsman (tennis, swimming, water-skiing), a cool politician with an instinct for shrewdness and enterprise, and a demanding boss with a reputation for firmness and hard work.

Housing is critically short and expensive, schools operate on split shifts because of the growing student population, food has to be shipped in from Winnipeg 400 air miles away. Contact with the outside world is through old shows on cable TV, three-day-old newspapers, or an unreliable air service that does the best it can with aging DC-3s and DC-4s. Not surprisingly, in spite of weekly...
