Remember m, folks? Who of our vintage besn‘t? The shadowy rascal lurks hrough my manuscript copy. alin‘s bullyâ€"boy. Chilling mentor f realpolitik which permanently alloused our trust in political owhards. Any stripe. To this day. Robert Conquest tabs him in he Great Conquest" (Macmillan): ishinsky himself favored the xtraâ€"legal method. He several said: ‘When it is a question of nhilating the enemy, we can do it ist as well without a trial‘." Manhattan‘s stateâ€"ofâ€"art United ations tower didn‘t exist during my time of assignment there. An evacuated oneâ€"time suburban factoâ€" ry was UN‘s pro tem home. There was a vast lounge for delegates, guests, and those who newspapered, dominated by a blockâ€"long permaâ€" nentlyâ€"jammed bar. I spotted Vishinsky, storied prosâ€" ecutor of Stalin‘s preâ€"war purge triâ€" als. He was tossing back vodkas with vigorous relish. I sidled up to my quarry and ordered a belt for myself. "I‘m a Canadian reporter," I dared disclose. "I suppose you know who I am," Vishinsky preened. No protective shield of aides at his elbow. He gave me his left profile, a Barrymorean gesture which marked his sharp feaâ€" tures. "Oh, yes," I boasted. The din around us was deafening. "That‘s why I‘m curious," I shouted to make my point, "How an original Marxist feels about fraternizing with all these bourgeois imperialâ€" ists?" "Marxist!" the old pro roared. He belted back his vodka and.thumped the bar for a reâ€"fill. "How naive you people are. Marx â€" pure bull! Us, listen to that scruffy little academâ€" 1¢?" . "Then, what ARE you for?" I pressed. "For power, mister Canadian reporter," Vishinsky thundered. "Just like your soâ€"called democratic politicians." "And your vaunted proletariat? Ordinary folks?" My fiery vodka unleashed my tongue. "Who are they? That riffâ€"raff!" he scoffed. He brandished his glass overhead. "Here, mister barman, pour a drink for my innocent friend." We tipped glasses. "Let‘s toast power," Vishinsky proposed. "The politician‘s mistress. Around the world." A noâ€"nonsense tutor‘s basic polyec. Timeless. Braces us seniors for our upcoming bafflegab orgies in Ontario‘s preâ€"election pit. Resource kit for separated women The Women‘s Information and Support Centre of Halton has pulled together a resource kit for recently separated and divorced women. "So many of the women we see coming through our doors are living through the death of a marriage and don‘t know where to turn for help and support," advises Kathy LePatourel, program coâ€"ordinator. "We decided to develop a kit which would not only provide factual inforâ€" mation, but emotional support as well." Included in the kit is the Women‘s Centre‘s toâ€"one basis.
