News: Fu Manchus and Ho Chi Mike

Post-long weekend newspapers are just plain bad. I failed to find anything of note. That's not totally true. Neal Hall's "Love summer a Canadian coming of age" article had the following stomach churning story:

"In the summer of 1967, future Vancouver mayor and B.C. premier Mike Harcourt was a young University of B.C. law student, working as waiter on a CP Railway dining car, heading to Expo 67, the world's fair being held in Montreal during Canada's Centennial Year.

He stayed in Montreal with fellow law student Don Rosenbloom, who was running a youth hostel for the summer.

'I had long flowing hair and a Fu Manchu moustache,' said Harcourt, whose nickname in law school was Ho Chi Mike."

This is way too much information before my first coffee! Good lord. Lesson learned, very funny Vancouver Sun.
