Having led his party to power for the fourth time, Trudeau also reclaims his title as the elder statesman among Western leaders. He is expected to play a larger international role and give his ministers ample leeway in tackling the country's domestic problems. In accepting his party's bid, Trudeau did make one provision: he will step down well before the next election-meaning in two to three years, or as Trudeau put it, after "I change the flow of things...
...sincerity both of a statesman and the guy next door whom you can invite over for a barbecue. George Bush is the friendly family doctor who specializes in frequent house calls.

Kaplan thinks that McBride should go at the end of the piece, and the change is made...
...Tinker Bell story first appeared in the leftist weekly New Statesman, which two weeks ago began publishing a serialized expose by Journalist Duncan Campbell, 27. His most startling claim was that the government tapped phones, bugged hotel rooms and even monitored diplomatic communications of delegates to last fall's Lancaster House Conference on Zimbabwe Rhodesia; this surveillance, he contended, was "authorized directly" by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and Foreign Secretary Lord Carrington, who won wide acclaim for his deft performance as conference chairman. Though all delegations were monitored, Campbell wrote, particular attention was paid to Patriotic Front Co-Leaders...
