This week / last week                               

1/2 TARGET RICH ENVIRONMENT

Pax Americana: U.S. soldiers hit the Haitian streets after Jimmy 
Carter concocts a deal to save Bill Clinton's face and Raoul Cedras' 
ass. Thus will Democrats be spared the politically troublesome sight 
of incoming American body bags during election season.

2/10 BULLSHIT RICH ENVIRONMENT

Qu�lection: Post election analysis goes critical as the old pros 
switch to a topic they've experience with, a referendum.

3/ FULL OF HOLES

Guns: After a week rich with shooting deaths, an Ontario gun owners' 
group reminds us that criminals, not guns, are dangerous. After a 
drunk gets into a shootout with cops who fill his legs full of holes, 
said officers remind us that they need more deadly bullets.

4/2 ICE MACLEANS AND WE'LL CALL IT A DEAL, TED

Greed: Cultural bureaucrats start hearings into the takeover of 
Maclean Hunter by Rogers Communications.

5/2 EENIE, MEENIE, MINY, MOE

True North: A former Canadian Red Cross official tells blood supply 
inquiry that the agency relied on "nurses' intuition" to determine 
whether a potential donor might be carrying HIV.

6/3 THE NATIONAL DREAMERS

Civics: Mel Hurtig's dream dies as the National Encyclopedia Party of 
Canada implodes in an orgy of fingerpointing, mutual firing and 
dubious ledgers.

7/ SHOW AND TELL

Indian Summer: Hearings into military flights low over the heads of 
Labrador residents are delayed when a few hundred Innu protesters 
storm in and whip moose droppings within inches of the Defence 
Department noggins.

8/6 HEARING DISORDERS

Kops: More fun with a black woman's allegation that cops strip-
searched her in public. Now a court will decide whether board of 
inquiry member Frederica Douglas, as president of Mississauga's 
chapter of the Congress of Black Women, is biased in favor of black 
women.

9/2 SILICONE INVASION

Glitter: Publicists for Melrose Place win TV premier season flacking 
award by grabbing simultaneous coverage in everything from People 
Magazine to Woman's World to Vanity Fair.

10/ FAREWELL THEN, FAT BASTARD

Fame: Moonfaced renaissance/remittance man Michael Coren writes 
his farewell Diary for Frank magazine.
