Brooke, defeated for a third term last fall largely because of the damaging publicity churned up by a messy divorce, scored a demi-triumph as a lobbyist for low-income housing before the same Senate subcommittee on which he once sat. Now Brooke is taking a second wife: Anne Fleming, 30, of Saint Martin in the West Indies. Fleming speaks four languages, is a gourmet cook and opera buff.

Levesque's separatist doctrine is the party's raison d'etre. He originally drafted the policy in his book, An Option for Quebec, soon after he left the Quebec Liberal Party in 1967. Only Trudeau's popularity in Quebec exceeds that of Levesque's. The Quebec leader has wisely chosen to keep a low profile during this federal campaign, secretly hoping for Trudeau's demise, while recognizing that support for Clark would label him a traiter...
