First West Capital Corp. will acquire two-thirds of a small, public Canadian company in return for First West's rights to buy half a partnership with an interest in a big real estate portfolio. First West had earlier agreed to buy from Drexel Burnham Lambert the bankrupt Wall Street firm's half-interest in the partnership. That partnership owns a piece of 500 U.S. properties leased to the Postal Service and to other state and federal agencies.

While working in Haiti as a radio engineer during the past three years, I had the chance to observe the political scene there firsthand. Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the ousted president of Haiti, received over 80% of the vote in last December's United Nations-supervised elections. Many people claim that Aristide is Haiti's first honestly elected president. His government legitimately derives its power from the 6 million citizens of Haiti.
