What. it really means. of course, is that

WHY DON'T. the Consersatiyes make their
leadership race just that? Put the entire 18

summer Olympics. send them off, and the
last man to fall flat on his face becomes
their leader. It would make just as 'much
sense as choosing them by ballot. which is
also a process of finding the guy or gal with

Personally, I'd like to see . Flora
MacDonald have a shot at it. The result
might be worse than the massacre of
Glencoe. but if 50 per gent of the voters are'
women, it would give them a chance to
stand up and be counted.' And I think it
would terrify Pierre T.
One guy I would hate to' see 'win the
leadership would be' Paul Hellyer. If he
won it, the Tories could kiss their hopes
