...times Clark did little to dispel that mage. In an appeal to Jewish voters in Toronto, Clark grandly promised that he would move the Canadian embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem-a move that would complicate Ottawa's relations with the Arab world. Clark's handlers were so leery of verbal miscues that they limited his appearances to small groups and friendly audiences. They also shrewdly declined to put forward detailed proposals that Trudeau, an unmatched debater, could pick apart.

Yet when the speech finally came, it more than lived up to the advance billing. In blunt terms the President sought to dispel the notion, reflected in polls, that most Americans feel the oil problem is somehow phony. "The energy crisis is real," he emphasized. The nation's dependence on foreign oil, which now supplies nearly 50% of the U.S.'s needs, up from 36% in 1973, has left the country...
