A princely presence

"The dark prince of the Social Credit party" - that's how Keith Baldrey described Bud Smith in a 1991 story published in Vancouver Sun, adding the former attorney general "has developed a reputation over the years as a first-rate political organizer, who understands political trends and strategies." So the Royal British Columbia Museum's foes might want to take note of the Campbell administration's January 26, 2010 decision to appoint Mr. Smith to the institution's board of directors.
