March :i, 1393 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Attention Queen's Park by Bob Watson Marty municipal taxpayers in Scarborough are angry because their property assessments have been allocating higher taxes to them than most people in the City of Toron- to. The Metro Council resolution to adjust the discrepancy between older Metro Toronto properties and newer ones was sent to the provincial government for approval. But Queen's Park must have heard heavily from old City of Toronto property owners and decided to sit on this very reasonable resolution from Metro Council. Irate taxpayers are not willing to wait two years to get the NDP government out of office so that equal justice can be established. It is highly important that the Bob Rae government approve of Metro Toronto's resolution so that a start can be made on the equalization of taxes in Metro Toronto. Queen's Park Report Elinor Caplan M.P.P. Oriole There's a concern among some people that when their MPP goes to Queen's Park. he or she has to tow the party line instead of reptvsenting the views of people in the riding. This is particularly true for government members, %im sometimes are pressured to vote in favour of legislation that may not be in the best interest of their constitutents. For example. many New Democrat MPPs who live near border communities voted in favour of increases in tate gasoline tax, despite the fact that this measure would en- courage even more people to buy gas and shop in the United States. The time has come to look at ways to reform the system so that MPPs have more autonomy to speak their minds and represent the views of their constituents in the legislature. Last April. Ontario Liberal Leader Lyn :McLeod formed a committee made up of Liberal caucus members and liberal party volunteers to come up with some ideas. The cornmiittee has %ritten a discussion paper that's now available for comiment. The discussion paper makes 44 recom mendationS, Among the highlights Freer Votes for M.P.P. s The discussion paper suggests a relaxation of party discipline on specific legislation so that elected represen- tatives can be free to vote according to the views of their constituents. This could be achieved through a "three-level whip". meaning specific votes would carry different levels of party discipline. More �ignifieance For Private Member' Bills It's rare for individual _1PPs to introduce legislation that actually becomes law. A bill drafted last year by .Mississauga Kest MPP Stege %tahone} %as a notable ex- ception. 1taboney shepherded a bill through the legislative process that banned the sale of lottery tickets to minors. The discussion paper makes recommendations that would give individual :MPPS a greater opportunity to pass mean- ingful legislation. Strengthening The Role of legislative committees The discussion paper suggests that legislative commit- tees should have the power to review and amend legislation prior to introduction or approval in principle. Measures To Reform the Electoral Process The discussion paper suggests the possibility of shorter election campaigns. It also recommends fixed election dates for majority governments to take the politics out of setting an election date. When the consultation period is completed at the end of '.March, the Liberal caucus will examine the proposals. Some of these reforms can be implemented by the caucus• but others will require agreement by all three parties or ac- tion by government. Our institutions need to change %ith the times. During this critical period• people meed to have confidence in the ability of their elected members to represent their views and concerns. The discussion paper on parliamentary reform is a good start to bringing this change about. i'M.'

With a stroke of a pen, the NDP government of Ontario could end up closing down 20 per cent of the retail phar- macies in the province, creating unemployment for hun- dreds of drug store employees and affecting the delivery of health care to thousands of people. Among the proposals of the Ministry of Health's new "On- tario Tobacco Strategy" is a call for a ban on tobacco pro- ducts from pharmacies. That won't accomplish anything but threaten the economic viability of hundreds of drugstores. There are some commendable parts of the government's strategy which recognize that tobacco is a hazardous substance. These have the support of the general pubic and all pharmacies. For example• the government proposes to strengthen regulation of sales to minors and it wants to raise minimum age requirements from 18 to 19. These pro- posed new regulations would apply to all tobacco retailers. But to ban tobacco products from one type of retail establishment to the exclusion of others in an arbitrary way does not make sense. There are approximately 28,000 retail outlets carrying tobacco products in Ontario. Only 1300 are drugstores. Preventing drugstores - only 5 per cent of all the outlets sell- ing tobacco in the province - will not reduce tobacco use. In fact, it could have the opposite effect. It is more likely that, with less supervision in such locations as convenience stores. gas bars, supermarkets, restaurants and vending machines where tobacco would still be available• consump- tion could actually increase. The government's logic should be questioned - after all if tobacco is regarded as a harmful product and a dangerous substance, then pharmacists, who are professionally train- ed and licensed to deal in such matters. should be the only ones allowed to sell the product. How can the government justify that a vending machine is more appropriate than a pharmacist? Perhaps the reason the NDP government has decided to focus on pharmacy is symbolic, reasoning that phar- macists. as pari of the health care system, should not be in the tobacco business. Some pharmacists have demonstrated that they agree with this position and have volu ntartly removed the product from their shelves. This is entirely appropriate. A decision to carry a legal product should be one made to professionals %iw unders- tand the implications for themselves and the people in their care. If government Was really interested in the health issue. then it surely should restrict all sales by making tobacco illegal.

Participatory democracy de- mands we as voters "pwbci- pate" in directing our govern- ments' activities. Otherwise, the self-interested few will make those decisions affecting us all. Corralling your candidates for 15 minutes with an array of questions will go a long way to ensuring your vote is cast for the Politician who best represents your beliefs and values. It's that simple. CF1B Feature Service cessful in the past. So the government has engaged in what is clearly empty symbolism. But at what cost to the people of Ontario? Preventing the sale of tobacco products in drugstores will, because of the negative economic impact, force many of them to curtail their hours of operation, theservices they offer, the staff they employ and the delivery of the front-line health care they provide. Some, particularly the small in- dependent drugstores in rural or outlying areas of Ontario, will simply go out of business. Pharmacists across the province understand the implica- tions. Late last year, the Ontario Pharmacists Association, the organization of all pharmacists in the province, con- ducted a mail survey of its 4000 members - hospital and in- dustrial pharmacists as well as those working in drugstores. Fifty-eight per cent (2,374) responded and, of these, 63 per cent said that their association should take the position that its members should have the individual right to decide, on a voluntary basis. %fiat best suits their par- ticular situation. They want freedom of choice. The Committee of Independent Pharmacists also carried out a survey last year. It found that, of the 1300 pharmacy - owners who sell tobacco across the province, 91 percent op- posed any government legislation. And almost 20 per cent stated that they would go out of business if tobacco were legislated out of their stores. Many others responded that the midnight hours, free delivery and other customer ser- vices -would be eliminated. How is it that pharmacists have come to depend on tobac- co for their economic survival? In the same way that governments raise billions of dollars on tobacco taxes, pharmacies also rely on its revenues. Tobacco (sold in pharmacies for more than 50 years) has been significant in helping to generate customer traffic, which in turn has led to the sales of many other drug store products. Today's marketplace is filled with every retailer selling products which were once in the exclusive domain of drug stores necessitating pharmacies to be as competitive in every category of merchandise as their competition. bforeover our leases were negotiated based on the sale of tobacco. Consequently to remove a product that contributes revenue, generates traffic and helps pay the rent will be an economic The principleof treating all retailers equally should prevail. And if the government sena sly wishes to have an impact on the health of Ontanans, it should focus on rules that work. including sponsoring campaigns to educate peo- ple about not smoking. The safety, protection and education of the consumer has always been part of the credo for the Pharmacist. A substance like tobacco should continue to be sold in pharmacies and under the guidance and supervision of the pharmacist. where it can be controlled and where the- mr>surner can be properly educated. Instead of working toward a solution by engaging in the Pharmacists' professional counsel and assistance. the government has declared war on pharmacy. About Appointments To The Editor: Rip: Toreato star Repot of Febr•rar% tlti "local I1berals push for ridiing sbowdow n." It is incredible that the Liberal party leader Jean Clire- tien is still dithering with a simple decision in Scarborough Rouge River Riding about whether or not to alb% local liberals to freely exercise their democratic rights. Despite an overwhelming public outcry from his own par- ty members. Chretien is thinking of side stepping democracy and "appointing" Derek Lee, who according to the Toronto Star report is so unpopular even amongst the party faithful that "Current indications are Lee would lose" his party's nomination- Chretien and the Liberals seem to have a penchant for '.bypassing" the democratic process. Art Eggleton was recently "appointed" in another Toronto area riding despite the cries of opposition from within his own party, and recently one of Chretien's Quebec lieutenants was caught telling a black liberal hopeful to back off and forget about running. This would not happen in the Reform Party. As a grassroots political party, Reform members choose who they want to represent them, the leader does not "ion pose" a candidate on any riding. If Derek Lee had any sense of fairrie% and decency, he would long ago have suggested to Chretien that he stop rrwMintg in Scarborough Rouge River afairs, and let democracy take its course. If he refuses to do this then I would invite all disgruntled Liberals to come over to the Reform Party where democracy is alive and well.! Les Saunders Candidate.

'Trussarm' was part of the evening space pro- gram, and was demonstrated by aerospace engineering pro- fessor and Trussarm developer Dr. Peter 'Hughes. The technical Geometry Truss Manipulator'. The more pronounceable name is 'Trussarm', which more easily and accurately describes this remote manipulating system. Trussarm has been in development for about six years by Dr. Hughes. three years at Dyncon Enter- prises and the last three at the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies tUTIAS►, UTIAS is an academic member of tium. and Trussarm is cur- rently included in the next ISTS Five-year Program Plan, entitled "Variable Geometry Truss Manipulator". At heart, Trussarm is a collapsible geometric structure in which the angles move, precisely controlled by actuator motors at interest points. a prototype, called the Mark 1, was demonstrated by Dr. Hughes at the Science Cen- tre. The Trussarm was con - trolled by a computer ;system which extended and retracted the four truss segments assembled. Adding more segments combined with the ability to vary the lengths of each truss section will allow Trussarm to bend and twist into a variety of useful shapes. In a computer - graphic video animation. Trussarm resembles the once -popular Slinky toy, flipping itself end over end. In space, one potential use of Trussarm described by Dr. Hughes involves Trussarm extensions to the Canadarm in very small sizes, allowing for near - fingertip control of objects. In considerably larger structures. Trussarm could be designed as "an ex- oskeleton around a movable docking tunnel." said Dr. Hughes, "and could provide much more versatile docking than a solid docking system for !kpaceenft " J Graduate stud( r.: Roger } iurtl :.: c the computer system controlling the Trussarm at the Science C'entrt� display in late J;,::uan Left is Dr. Peter Hughes.

Wants PCB Storage Sites The North York Board of Health has voted to urge Ci- ty Council to set up cen- tralized PCB storage sites on Metro Toronto property within North York. The consolidation from 57 existing sites to fewer sites would "make the con- trol and monitoring of PCBs easier and more ef- fective" a report to the Board of Health stated. On- ly PCBs generated in North York would be stored at the site. The move follows an earlier proposal from Metro Toronto's personnel department for every municipality in Metro Toronto to have one PCb storage site. PCBs come f rom old electrical equipment in- cluding fluorescent light ballasts and transformers. They are often discovered during renovation or repair of equipment in a commer- cial. industrial or school building. The board also voted to lobby the Ministry of Hous- ing to fund the Toronto Children's Breakfast Club, whose future is in jeopardy due to lack of long term funding. Ministry of Hous- ing funding for the pro- gram expires at the end of 19M. It also voted to endorse the use of warning signs where alcohol is sold in North York and ask council to support the move; and voted to urge the Federal Health Minister to reverse a recent decision to not re- quire warning labels on alcoholic beverages and ask the Provincial Health Minister to put warning labels on alcoholic beverages sold in Ontario. The board also asked for help to set up an alcohol detoxification facility in North York. and present a new smoking bylaw to City Council within six months. The board also wants council to urge the Ontario Minister of Health to not cut funding for psychiatric hospitals in Ontario until the Ministry has a plan to implement community ser- vices required by the men- tally ill who will be discharged or directly af- fected by funding cuts. The health board also would join with the City of Toronto Board of Health and City Council in asking Ontario Health Minister Ruth Grier to reinstate sub- sidies for dental treatment programs in schools. Staff & Students Get Funds Staff and students of the Scarborough Board of Education through their hard work and dedication raised $104,000 for the United Way and $23,800 for the Terry Fox Foundation. Through a variety of ac- tivities and initiatives ranging from staff payroll deductions, to organized events to canvassing, the board surpassed last year's United Way donation total by approximately $2,000. Throughout Ontario, students at their own school Terry Fox Events raised a total of 5750,000. INSURANCE BROKERS ASSOC IA TION ONTARIO "Trussarm is very strong for a given mass or weight," said Dr. Hughes. "It has great dexterity and it is collapsible. Because of this, it is not surprising that the basic Space Station Freedom structure (plann- ed for launch in this decade) is a truss design." A number of terrestrial applications are also being considered for Trussarm, under development by Dynacon. These could in- clude underwater applica- tions, appropriate because of significantly reduced drag factors, such as biological sampling or underwater remote sens- ing. Currently, work is focus- ed on the Mark Il Trussarm model which in- volves, among other fac- tors. development of fur- ther robotic control laws. Research in other fields currently focuses on spacecraft dynamics and control systems. We're Looking For You For The MODEL & TALENT SEARCH'93 Males 3 Females 40 Plus► Teens Children 4.

At more than 45 square kilometres, the park is 28 times the size of Toronto's High Park. The province has developed a Draft Rouge Park Management Plan. The plan was prepared with input from the Rouge Valley Park Advisory Committee, which represented 14 government and non-govemment agencies and groups, and other interested groups and individuals. The province is seeking public input on the draft plan. You have until April 19, 1993 to submit your comments to the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR). Based on comments received, the Ontario Government will develop a final park management plan by the middle of 1993. Once approved, the plan will guide the establishment and development of the park.

Baha'i Community Celebrates Days Of Giving From Feb. 26th to Mar. 1st, the Baha'i Community in Scarborough joined Baha'is around the world in celebrating the period known as "Intercalary days". This is the four (or five in leap year) day period between the Baha'i calendar and the Gregorian calendar. To Baha'is, this is a time for joyful giving, when they exchange presents and in- itiate or assist in social development projects in the community. It is also a special family time to visit elderly members of the community, friends and relatives. The Baha'i calendar con- sists of 19 months - each with 19 days, plus the inter- calary days. This celebratory time im- mediately precedes a 19 day period of fasting which is a contemplative time for introspection. During the fast Baha'is do not eat or drink between sunrise and sunset. The fast ends at sunset on Mar. 20th wi ich is the start of the Baha'i New Year. ix "r *1`t, A sire„ � - ;'-t fNOMMUpf4ALf 1�1'MlNtt MR A MOWN A ftM t i`s OR "M FOR fV10 aft -.L 'Wed.

In the Ladies' Division, Mary Berl of Woodbridge Bowl, Woodbridge over- camne a 70 pin deficit half- way through the tourna- ment to capture this year's champiionship. With one game remaining, Michelle Sla,.ik of Empire Lanes, Leam ington led the field with a five game score of 1240. In pursuit and closing the gap. were Mary at 12M and Minda Sychangco of Thorneliffe BOwlerama, Toronto at 1169. All were bowling very well at this -point, but Michelle's lead was shrinking as each bowl was thrown. After the first couple of frames in the last game, it was evident that the tour- nament would come down to the tenth frame. Michelle was struggling - Mary was bowling just over her average - and Min - da had a monster of a game going. Witten the last bowl was thrown, Mary squeez- ed out a victory by the nar- rowest of margins. Minch finished in second four pins behind, and Michelle drop- ped to a disappointing third, eight pins back. In the Men's Lhvison. the result was just the op- posite. Angelo Savatti of Club 300 Bowl, Markham took the lead in the third game and never looked back. He buit up an insur- mountable lead and finish- ed with a six game total score of 1487, eight -seven pins ahead of Scott Schroeter of Stellar Lanes. Newmarket. Rounuing out the top three positions was John Bonga of Brunswick Bramalea Lanes, Bramp- ton with a final score of 1389.

March 3, 196:1 Bill Watt's Worlds AT THE BALLET: The National Ballet's Ar- tistic Director Reid Ander- son continues his mix of short classic contem- porary works with the avant garde. In the main, it works. In the main, that is. Consider the final program of the just completed season at The O'Keefe. The first presentation was Dream Dances by Jiry Kylian. Set to the music of Lucinao Berio's Folk Songs, it's a series of folk dance impressions refined to the smooth discipline of ballet. From the U.S. there are Black Is The Colour and I wonder As I Wander. from Sardinia there's Motettu de Tristura, from Armenia, Loosin Yelav - well by now you get the idea. There are eleven in all and each is ac- companied by an off stage mezzo-soprano. On the evening of our at- tendance• the singer was Jean Stilwell. It's as well the lady was off stage. Her singing is glorious, her ap- pearance so attractive that this splended woman might well have distracted from the delightful dancing. Obviously the dancers were numerous and as ex- cellent dancers followed others equally so. one was hard pressed to record those deserving of extra Certainly Karen Kain and Graeme Mears set the tone for the evening with their rhythmic movements to Black Is The Colour. Of equal certitude was the sprrtely dancing of Giaella Witkowski and Peter (kt- mann in the final measure. Azerbaijan Love Song. In between. one enjoyed - r•evelled in - the dancing of such as Margaret Illman and Raymond Smith ' Rossignol du Bois . Sarah Green and Robert Tewsley Ballo i and Johann Persson Malurous qu'o Uno Fenno) . Dream Dances whetted the appetite for more delights of dance. That was almost a pity given what followed. The world prremniere of John Neurneir's Now and Then looks like what William Forsythe might have intended in the second detail recently reviewed here. It's better but still doesn't make it. Indeed, in these supposed emotionally sensitive times. a case could be made that its choreography is insulting to epileptics. The only strength of Now And Then is the score and the energy of the dancers giving their superb best to make some artistic statement to a series of well nigh spastic movements. The music is that of Ravel's'Piano Concerto in G '.Major and one inclines the head in the direction of pianist Gary Arbour for this fine interpretation especialy of the second movement. Adagio assai. One congratulates Karen Kain. Graeme blears. Margaret Illmann and Jeremy Ransom for their fine work in what can only be considered a lost cause. And forget the uproarious whooping of the first night claque. The evening was suc- cessfully completed with Etudes to the choreography of Harald Lander and Carl Czerny. a pupil of Beethoven . wr believe. Etudes might be em- sidered as a primer of what ballet is all about - or shouid be. It traces the development of a ballet class. Beginning with a simple - simple' warm-up. the dancers perform a pro- gessively more complex and technically difficult series of exercises. It con- cludes with the entire cast on stage - The music is lush, the costurr ing romantic and the dances arc pure. The entire ballet is pure and the audiences enjoy pure pleasure in viewing it. Individual excellence" That must be accoladed to the tno of Martine Lamv. Pierre Quinn and Jeremv Ransom. What a treat to see such dancers presen- ting that which ballet is in- tended to convey, purity of movement and style. Around and A bou a Your Dining & Entertainment Guide Kudos as well to the corps, proving once again that Mr. Anderson's fine work with the company continues to be built upon the basics. And, so long as that continues, the com- pany can survive such ab- berations as The Second Detail and Now And Then. CURTAIN CALL: This Saturday. The Na- tional presents the third Erik Bruhn competition. Often referred to as The Olympics of Ballet, the competition brings together four couples from four international com- panies. They are judged on their technical abilities and artistic achievement in both a classical and con- temporary work. The four companies to be represented are The Roval Ballet. American Ballet. Denmark's Roval Danish and The National from Canada. One dislikes being a .'homer" but this column will be pulling for The Na- tional's team of corps member Greta Hodgkinson and Second Soloist Robert Tew•sley. The latter is the most promising young dancer to find his way to The National in the last four or five years. It promises to be a glorious evening. We understand that there might be a few tickets still available. It's certainly worth a call to The O'Keefe.

March S, 1993'711E NEWS!POST Page 9 Metro Toronto Board Of Trade Executive Summary 1993 Federal Pre -Budget Submission In its commentary on the upcoming 1993 federal budget, the board focuses on the need for changes in the Uemployment In- surance system, the Canada Assistance Plan, the size of the federal cabinet, and a number of specific tax areas. Unemployment Insurance The board argues that re- cent changes introduced by the government - such as denying eligibility to volun- tary job leavers - were ap- propriate, but somewhat superficial. Ideally, the board argues,the UI system should be reformed as follows: put program policy under the exclusive control of a board of direc- tors comprised of business and labour, since G'I is now funded mainly by employer and employee contribu- tions. phase out all regional variations in UI benefits: provide incen- tives to ensure that employers do not report voluntary job leaves as layoffs. introduce an ex- penence rating. along the lines of Workers' Compen- sation payments. to deter employer and employee Premiere Of Esther At Posluns The Canadian pceraiere of ..Esther" will take place at the Leah Posluns Theatre, 4588 Bathurst St.. just north of Sheppard Ave. and there is ample free parking. Playwright Elizabeth Sw idos delights and su r- prises in this musical bused on the biblical story of Esther. Originally produced in New York, this innovative musical blends traditonal Eastern European music with the contemporary sound of pop, rock, reggae and rap. Esther runs from March 4th to 28th, with perfor- maneft Saturdays through Thursdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. There are special rates for students and seniors and group discounts are also available.

Social Assistance The board also recom- mends that the Canada Assistance Plan - a federal - provincial transfer pay- ment program for social assistance - be restored to the non -regionally biased program it was, before changes in the 1990 and 1991 Federal Budgets limited transfers to Ontario, B.C. and Alberta. This "arbitrary and un- fair" change, which was made without consultation with the provinces. has had an especially negative ef- fect in Ontario where social assistance demand has soared. The board does not. however, suggest a return to the "open-ended" transfers of the past. but the initiation of a federal - provincial process to "establish the best alloca- tion of tax spending power and administrative respon- sibility in this area". Federal cabinet The board further notes that the recent reduction in the sine of cabinet from 39 to 35 ministers does not even approach the degree of streamlining which is really needed in this ..overZoverned. over regulated and overtaxed" country, with one of the largest federal cabinets in the industrialized world and over 400 departments, agencies, commissions and Crown corporations. Taxation The board made sixteen tax policy recomnvm&- tions including the follow- ing: 1 i President -Elect Bill Clinton has promised to stimulate business invest- ment. The board urges the ;government to respond competitively to any new 'U.S. investment tax credits, and asks that it be vigilant concerning any tax proposals likely to discriminate against Cana - (ban business operatw s in the United States. 2) The Income Tax Act im- poses interest on retroac- tive tax changes. The board asks that interest not be charged on these, at least until the legislation is introduced in Parliament. 31 'Ilse board commends the federal government for delaying, for a second time since 1991. a proposal to limit the deductibility of provincial payroll and capital taxes. and recom- mends that the government negotiate a solution to the problem of excessive payroll and capital taxes w",h the prrn-inces Would you like to own a part of a group of local community newspapers?

As Sea World of Florida's newest attraction. "Nissior, Berm-,ida Triangle" takes guests on a thrill -filled. incredibly realistic scientific expedition of the mysterious Bermuda Triangle, where hundreds of planes and ships have vanished without a trace. Their assignment i;, to explore the unknown area in hopes of explaining many of the anomalies and abyssal mystries that occur there. Sea World's Mission Bermuda Triangle Just a few miles off the Florida coast lies one apex of a phenomenon called the Bermuda Triangle. Shaped by the peninsual state. Puerto Rico and Bermuda. itself, the area appears to be simply a serene 440.000 square mile expanse of ocean. Yet, it has claimed thousands of lives and hun- dreds of ships and planes, all vanishing without a trace. Home to one of the world's most intriguing un- solved mysteries, the Ber- muda Triangle is also in- spiration for a new attrac- tion at Sea World of Florida. Suppose a routine fact- finding expedition were undertaken - submersible watercraft were deployed - to explore this enigmatic area. What adventures or dangers would await the unsuspecting passengers' Now, guests on Sea World's "Mission: Ber- muda Triangle.. encounter, first-hand, the excitement. hazards and exhilaration of undersea exploration - "Mission: Bermuda Triangle" deftly calls on Sea World's undersea ex- pertise, combining a high- definition underwater adventure film with the same high-powered flight simulator technology used to train the nation's top fighter pilots. Visitors to the attraction find themselves aboard one of three scientific research vessels, the "Neptune". "Barracuda" or "Skip - jack". Their assignment is to investigate one of the Triangle's deepest tren- ches in hopes of explaining many of the anomalies and abyssal mysteries associated with the area. To create the sense of a precarious voyage, the 22 by 30 foot cabin pitches, lunges, rocks and tilts in sync with the view from the vessel's forward window. The 59 guests aboard feel a shudder as the sub plunges into the ocean. They endure a sense of exceptional speed as the craft spirals down beyond daylight, then hear untimely creaks as the depth gauges spin wild- ly. The cabin's computer - controlled movements authentically reproduce every sight. sound and sen- sation of a real deep-sea journey, including a submersible's ability to pitch (nose up down), heave (up down vertical- ly). surge ( fore and aft). sway side-to-side r, roll ( "rig), and yaw ( left to right).

FAIST EXIT: Well, in the rough and tumble world of politics, one is actually able finally to discern a touch of class. One refers, of course, to the resignation of Brian Mulroney. It's truly a class act on the face of it. And yet, we still have this niggl- ing feeling that he resigned only after making a sweetheart deal with Joseph Clark to ensure the latter's departure from politics. The Big M. couldn't live with the thought that the party might win if led once again by Mr. Clark. Die Politick ist die Lehre von Moglichen.
