He said he later changed his mind and told police about it. Ballard testified after Yolanda Ballard told the court lively stories of family feuding. Her sparring with the son's lawyer, Clive Bynoe, was echoed by Harold Ballard, who repeatedly questioned Bynoe’s competence. Bynoe suggested Ballard never saw the attack and had been “‘brain- washed”” by Youanda into testifying that he had witnessed it. “You're a liar!’’ Ballard shouted. “You never saw it."” Bynoe, who appeareed to have to struggle to remain calm, replied: “With age comes respect. However, Mr. Ballard, please don’t push me again.”” Both Ballard and Yolanda Rallard who had her last name legally changed from McMillan but is not married to Ballard — have maintained the son attacked her for no reason.

The former ambassador to the United Nations and Ontario NDP leader told a news conference he had been under pressure from party in- siders to seek the post Ed Broadbent announced he would leave in March. “The decision about contesting the federal leadership has been the most difficult decision of my life,’’ Lewis said. He “‘agonized’’ over the decision, Lewis said, but added speculation over the matter is ‘‘not good-for me, my family or the New Democratic Party. “Every time I’ve said no I meant it.”” Lewis, 51, said he’s working on a book on his experiences in the United Nations and hopes to continue inter- national work on disarmament and other projects. He said he knows his decision will disappoint some party members. “| hope my friends in the party will forgive me.” Since leaving the UN post last year, Lewis had repeatedly said he would not seek the leadership, to be contested Dec. 3in Winnipeg.

When Davis was re-elected premier with a majority in 1977 Lewis resigned as leader For some years, he worked as union consultant and dabbled in journalism, writing newspaper columns and doing radio and television commentary. In 1984, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney astonished many Canadians by offering Lewis the United Nations job. Others were shocked that Lewis accepted the position, wondering whether the partisan Lewis would have to compromise his ideals to represent ConserVativé government views.
