After reading of the raid on the Guardian computers today, I was feeling bad enough; shortly after, I read of Leonard's death. As my wife said, without flippancy, "You're really having a bad day."<br /><br />Leonard's quirky characters and his keen ear for speech made each of his novels a real pleasure to read. I will miss his skewed perspective a great deal, but glad he lived a life of prodigious output. He has earned a well-deserved rest.Lornehttp://www.politicsanditsdiscontents.blogspot.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-24785371964258018132013-08-20T11:03:50.666-07:002013-08-20T11:03:50.666-07:00We'll all miss Leonard, Mound.

As for Cruz, he's not the first Canadian to become an American political activist. <br /><br />But unlike John Kenneth Galbraith -- who never forgot Canada -- Cruz wants to forget his Canadian connection.<br /><br />And that's good for us.Owen Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06464860078574618579noreply@blogger.com
