It was one of tbe largest nomination meetings beld in years by the federal liberals. The final number of ballots cast was not announced but some seven to eigbt hundred must bave voted from a total memnbership of 1200. Interest in the nomination was at a bigb this time around due ta the fact that Rosemary Connel bad as part of ber platform a pro- life stand and bad strong support Q.from the pro-life cammunity.

Five bundred years later, at dusk, we arrive in the village of Yalpemecb, seven gnielling boums froin Caban, in scorching beat over a winding, narrow, outrageously rough road in a 4/D truck. Saine men in tbe near distance were carrying a newly made casket across a dark meadow toward a cluster of thatcb roofed buts.

He was also the seventb of igbt cbildren in bis famrily who had died, most of them mxucb younger then twenty- tbree. T'hat nigbt, at the wake, bis father sat on a stool in a corner of bis sinali dirt floor bouse, unable ta contain bis grief. Many in the village looked on. There was singing in Quiche as the sky filled spring.
