Flinty old John Diefenbaker, 71, likes to parry any suggestion that he should step down as leader of Canada's Progressive Conservative Party with a Churchillian thrust: "I'm not going till the pub closes." Last week, as the party gathered in Ottawa's Chateau Laurier for its regular convention, Tory dissidents were trying their best to close the pub...
...Pub & Home. Served from noon on ward, brunch has always been a natural next step for churchgoers after the 11 a.m. service.

"If the teachings of a philosopher seem esoteric or divorced from reality," he once said, "it's the fault of the phi losopher." Hocking himself vigorously applied his vision to the realm of pub lic debate. He championed the Arab cause against Israel and criticized the cold-war policy of John Foster Dulles as being too negative. He was unafraid to prophesy: he once predicted that "we shall see in the Orient the rise of a Christianity far outpassing that which we of the West have conceived...
