...magic solutions, we are not magicians or Santa Clauses." In rural Ontario, he told prosperous farmers that their taxes would have to pay for programs in the poorer provinces. In British Columbia, where the shipyards have been hurt by foreign competition, Trudeau talked, instead, about Canada's low-income minorities. "What about the shipyards?" a heckler shouted. "What about the Indians and Eskimos?" Trudeau shot back, "Have you thought about them...
Unlike Hitchcock's films, Bride has no overriding buildup of tension leading to a climactic finish. Instead, Truffaut provides a whole series of suspenseful crescendos-and finds voluptuous revelations and eerie beauty in each one of them. Under his low-keyed, meticulous direction, all the murdered men give subtle performances that would do credit to Giraudoux.

As "the Boswell of the Boondocks," Ainsworth ambled through small-town California in search of such interesting minutiae as "the gargantuan battle over the bougainvillea, the rose and the iris," all candidates for small (pop. 25,000) La Puente's official flower. The hibiscus, a dark horse...
