A8& - Wednesday, November 28, 1984 - North Shore News COLLINS BROUGHT TO ‘TRIAL’ Let’s have MORE Press Council hearings! HERE I! WAS, sucking away at my glass of Guinness in the West Van Legion when a nice lady came up to offer her sympathy. I'd had a rough time, she said, what with being hauled before the press council and everything, and she wanted me to know she was on my side. It would not have been polite to argue with her, so | didn’t. But she was wrong. | haven’t had a rough time at all. Whatever the council’s decision may be, let it be stated in advance that | have enjoyed the whole thing. 1 enjoyed being face to face and fist to fist, as it were, with Robin Ridington, the academic genius who led the case for the Kill Collins Movement. It’s one thing to fight a battle with long-range artillery, you see, and quite another to fight hand-to- hand, as 1 hope Robin discovered. Stab! Thrust! Ouch! ‘‘Humor may not yet be dead, spite of the efforts of the New Puritans...’ l enjoyed confirming — to my satisfaction, at least that anthropologists and sociologists Know practically nothing about humanity There are exceptions. perhaps, but | didn’t see any at the hearing Dr Ridington’s spouse Jthhan, a member of the socological sisterhood, was even more confused than he was One Of amy more minor of fernees Nad been too say that ot the harpies of Media Wath equal with aoe iin all things they could go te the that dreadful want ote be fronmtoan any future war and be by the raped Willan tead brosthoig wath libber Russians this out tape When she rose to say that she had triss tact fCruaistiest t ed oout the best but which wate Thothe Russians would B mailbox Exciting election Dear Editar bass a Oi ‘ ~ophead bee boacc roe, & ee .
