It is with great joy that I open the Monday Daily News each week in
anticipation of the column by Peter March. I've been tempted to write
in praise of March on many occasions. He is the anti-spin doctor, who
seeks the truth for truth's sake. He watches over us at a level where
there is a constant battle to win the "public opinion" on a number of
moral, political and business issues.

When I read Gary Hines's letter (July 18), I was tempted, for a
moment, to rush to the defence of March. I quickly realized there
would probably be a vigorous reply from March, and patience was the
order. I must now say, after having read his July 21 column, I am
tempted again to sign up for one of his courses. Failing that of
course, there is the Monday Daily News, as always.
