CLARION CALL

I must commend you for having printed, in the current issue of Consent (#28), the text of Joe Armstrong's first-class speech to Kingston's Canadian Club. It's a clarion call which, unfortunately, will not be heard by the vast majority of Canadians.

When I was in grade school at age 10 or 11, I was required to memorize John McRae's famous poem which, even at that age, made a lasting impression on me. As you may have been informed already, there is a misprint in your version of it, (enclosed).

- William E. Goodman, M.D., TORONTO Ontario, December 16, 1997

Thank you for your kind comments, and for being the first to alert us to the misprint. (The line, "To you from failing hands we throw" incorrectly read: "To you the failing hands we throw.") Fortunately, our entire mailing had not yet been printed and thanks to your quick response, 80% of our print run saw the correct version published, as the two subsequent copies we sent to your attention will attest.
