Our son Matthew ought to be raised in a city like this, says Andrew Biemiller, formerly of Washington, D.C., a psychologist at the University of Toronto Institute of Child Studies. He didn't choose Canada because of the draft - his wife Frances was from Toronto - but he says the war has left the U.S. with unsolved problems.

Big Jim Leeson parks his Cessna Skyplane, zips up his jacket and goes to pay a house call. By flying, Wiarton's Dr. Leeson figures he's beaten one of the biggest problems facing the progessive rural doctor today: Isolation from his colleagues and the big city medical centres. With his Cessna he can hop down to Toronto in an hour for a lecture. Still, he admits, a rural practice might not be every doctor's cup of tea, I'm a farm boy myself...I'm used to it, he says.
