Soon after the mighty Duplessis died in 1959, the Liberals came to power under a new Premier, Jean Lesage, 48, pledged to clean up and modernize Quebec. Last week Lesage took himself and his reform program to the polls in a snap election. The results were decisive: Lesage's Liberals gained nine seats to win a solid majority of 63 seats...
