A very informative discussion. Thanks. A correction (I'm an editor by profession) -- the FLQ during the October 1970 crisis kidnapped two men. One was James Cross, a British consul and the other, Pierre Laporte, was Minister of Labour in the Quebec government. It was Laporte who was murdered, not James Cross.

You're, of course, right. A few other readers emailed to note the same mistake. I should know better, as I've made this error before. It's one of very few sentences in this dispatch that I wrote from memory, without verifying. Always stupid!

Anyway, I did fix that line and add a correction.
