Dear Editor:

I thought that Rocco Marguzzian's predictions were uncannily excellent. Why, Joe Clark has already been dumped as leader of the P.C.s. (He doesn't have a hope in hell in the leader— ship convention). And who else is there to replace him, but Gary webster. It's so obvious, c'est un fait accompli! By the way, I heard that talks are cont— inuing between U.P.E.I. and the Expos. Apparently, U.P. E.I. want to throw in a Dean ( or Director) in the Meincke— Fryman deal, but the Expos are sticking to their guns.,

I Remain, Right Behind Rocco.
