...Match. Instead of agreeing to a public inquiry, as the opposition demands, Trudeau asked Chief Justice Jules Deschenes of the Quebec Superior Court to look into the case and report his findings to Justice Minister Basford. At week's end, Deschenes's report found that the judicial approaches had been made by the two Ministers, and Drury offered his resignation. Trudeau, however, in a move that caused tumultuous outrage in the Commons, refused to accept...
...Trudeau government was re-elected partly because the Tories were then led by Robert Stanfield, a decent but plodding campaigner who was no match for the Prime Minister on the hustings. But last month the Progressive Conservatives chose a bright, aggressive new national leader-Alberta M.P. Joe Clark, who at 36 is the youngest party chief in Canadian history.

Roman bath) that had a clientele to match (the 1945 United Nations conference was one of her busiest seasons). But in 1947 Sally went legit, opened a restaurant in Sausalito and got interested in politics. After four failed races for city council under the name of Marsha Owen, she resumed her nom de nuit in 1972 and swept...
Taxing Subtleties. The art of making steel reached its peak in Japan before the 16th century. Our present technology can dump men on the moon, but it cannot match the crystalline structure, hardness, flexibility and exquisite surface pattern of these ancient blades made in charcoal forges. Compared to Nippon-tō, the swords of Europe are kitchen cutlery...
