...rough-and-rollicking stereotype of Calgary has been created, in large part, by the summer shindig known as the Calgary Stampede, a major stomp on the rodeo circuit that has been drawing revelers since 1912. Some citizens would like to shuck that image. "People think of Calgary as a town full of red-neck, capitalist cowboys driving Cadillacs," complains Rod Love, who works in the mayor's office. "We are the financial and technical capital of Western Canada." There is a stock exchange and a contingent of high-tech companies to back up that claim. There is even a mayor...
...definition: "A Canadian is someone who could make love in a canoe." After all, isn't intimacy part balance and part illusion? From an American standpoint, another attraction may be that the Yanks don't win so often.

Shy and soft-spoken, Kania is one of the best-liked athletes on the winter circuit. Competitors will not be trailing in her wake much longer. Kania has already announced her retirement at the end of the season. Future plans? Another child, for sure, and eventually...
Among the recommendations of Brauer's group is to allocate $2 million to $3 million by this summer for the transition. Some of the money would go to the major party candidates right after they are nominated, even though one will lose. Such a plan, the instigators believe, would appeal to the contenders as a welcome way to armor themselves against the political pressures that they know will explode with victory. How the winner in November goes about gathering the people who will run this country will tell us more about his prospects for success than all his speeches, promises...
