...recalled last week that Ford emerged from the attempts on his life determined to fulfill the presidential obligation to the fullest. He wore bulletproof vests and rain coats now and then, but they were always an irritation, and finally he put them aside. Ford made public appearances without a trace of fear...
...vesque's tactics paid off handsomely: the Parti Québecois won an impressive 80 seats in the 122-seat legislature compared with 67 in the outgoing assembly.
