...Houston Post and a wire services reporter--he waded ashore with the Allied troops at Normady--Cronkite has consistently downplayed his achievements. "I don't understand my impact or my success," he once told an interviewer. "That my delivery is straight, even dull at times, is probably a valid criticism. But I built my reputation on honest, straightforward reporting. To do anything else would be phony. I'd be selling myself and not the news...

In a televised speech from the House of Commons, Trudeau set three conditions on a new constitution: that it authorize a federal Parliament with real national powers, provincial parliaments with equally valid territorial powers, and a charter of rights and freedoms, including the preservation of linguistic rights for French-speaking Canadians. The bargaining could be difficult, since Quebeckers are not the only Canadians with grievances. The resource-rich western provinces complain of Ottawa's indifference to their needs and want more...
