Weekly Digest Feb. 14, 2008

By Glenny Brock

Vol. 11, Issue 25SURPRISE, SURPRISE! In this city, a mysterious package is the last thing you want to see at your front door. So it was with some trepidation that we tore into the envelope we found in our foyer a few weeks ago. And while it turned out that the contents were, in a sense, explosive, we didn’t have to call the bomb squad. If you want to know what all this double-talk is about, check out this week’s cover story.
Elsewheres in this week’s Weekly, you’ll find professions of love and more professions of love, plus a valentine to soul food as served at Vulcan this month and some heartfelt sentiments from Gordon Lightfoot.
And as usual, we’ve got pondering, poetry, laughs and delicious gossip.
