...threat never came off. St. Laurent, a French Canadian, proved the perfect answer to the cardinal rule of Canadian politics: never lose the French vote. French-speaking Quebec went Liberal almost 100%. (In Montreal, the only nonLiberal candidate elected was mammoth Mayor Camillien Houde, who ran as an independent.) In the traditional Tory stronghold of Ontario, St. Laurent's well organized campaign helped his party trim down the Tory vote. In the Maritimes and the West, it was the same story.

In her weekly sessions, she had worked 42 hours, making retake after retake, to record 45 minutes of music. At 70 (her birthday is actually July 5), the somewhat mystic, sometimes earthy little Polish-born woman is the acknowledged high priestess of the harpsichord, the sweet-sounding, twangy-bangy instrument she rescued from oblivion...
...vestiges of once-vital organs which no longer serve much real purpose, and only cause trouble if they try to. Take for example, in 20th Century U.S. civilization, the father of a bride.
