Canadians have plenty of questions about Clark's inexperience and leadership qualities but relatively few about his sincerity and diligence. "We will not take this nation by storm, by stealth or by surprise," he once promised his fellow Tories. "We will win it by work...

The people of Le Chambon, by stealth and stubbornness, without violence, at mortal risk, turned their town into a sanctuary for Jewish refugees.

They said he deliberately provoked the dollar's slide; the U.S., rasped the daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, was playing "a selfish, risky game that shows little responsibility toward the world economy." In Britain, the Bank of England responded to the dollar's decline by abandoning a policy of keeping the pound at a level of $1.72. Instead, the government...
