I refuse to believe this honours list merely mirrors the sense of what is virtuous or fashionable. That Dr. Morgentaler is a significant actor in Canada's modern public life cannot be challenged

Truth may enter the world by many doors, but she is never escorted by force. I thought that was a lesson learned long ago, and learned by none more tellingly than scientists.

(Note: In Ottawa, all scandals are affairs, though not all affairs are scandals.)
