The four-hour parade, billed as the biggest of its kind, began at 1 1:58 a.m. local time as Gen. Colin Powell, Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf and Defence Secretary Dick Cheney rolled off toward city hall in a trio of vintage convertibles.

They were followed by about 24,000 marchers, more than half of them veterans of the Persian Gulf War from 50 states and 17 nations. The city's "Operation Welcome Home" rolled out a yellow ribbon bows painted along the pavement of Broadway and greeted the veterans with a million yellow ribbons and thousands of balloons. Hundreds of thousands of people gathered in hot, sunny weather to watch the parade, which began at Battery Park on the tip of lower Manhattan and moved north through the financial district.

The sentence means he will be eligible to apply for parole after he has served about 314 years.

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Raymond Paris, handing down sentence today, said the evidence indicated Reyat did not intend to kill, or did not know others intended to use the bomb to kill. But the judge said the political motive for the fabrication of the bomb was an aggravating factor in the case. "The end cannot justify violent means in a democratic society," the judge told Reyat. "We cannot condone such violence being perpetrated in our community to advance some cause abroad." The judge noted 39 persons from different walks of life came forward or wrote letters attesting to Reyat's good character.

"It is profoundly sad that such an otherwise decent person should be drawn into such a mad enterprise," the judge said. Paris said he took into account the fact Reyat has already spent 40 months in custody. Reyat, 39, was convicted May 9 of two counts of manslaughter and five explosives-related charges stemming from an explosion in June 1985 at Narita Airport. The explosion occurred as baggage from a CP Air flight from Vancouver was being transferred to an Air-India flight. Hideo Assano, 23, and Hindeharu Koda, 24, died in the blast.

The theory of the Crown, led by prosecutor James Jardine, was that Reyat wanted to avenge the government of India's bloody assault in 1984 on the Golden Temple at Amritsar. Defence lawyer Mark Hilford presented Reyat as a devout Sikh who was used and manipulated by militants. The defence said Reyat became involved unwittingly in the terrorist act. During Reyat's six-month trial in Vancouver, prosecutors called evidence indicating the former Duncan resident acquired nine items corresponding to the components with which the Tokyo bomb was made. The prosecution also showed that Reyat, three weeks before the Tokyo explosion, conducted a test blast in the bush near Duncan for Sikh militant Talwinder Singh Par-mar.

Paris, in a lengthy judgment delivered last month, said he was satisfied the evidence in the Crown's circumstantial case indicated Reyat made, or helped to make, the bomb and was reckless about the danger it posed to others.

NDP ponders its low-key leader Harcourt chides B.C., A8 By JENNIFER GRAY-GRANT and JEFF LEE Fifteen grain ships were sitting idle in Vancouver's port today after the B.C. Terminal Operators' Association locked out workers at five Vancouver grain terminals following work slowdowns at some terminals last week. With more ships arriving daily, there are fears a protracted labor dispute could hurt the port's international reputation, Vancouver Port Corp. spokesman Barbara Duggan said today.

"The impression offshore is we're having serious labor disruptions again," Duggan said. "The international reputation of the port is again at risk." Eric Harris, the terminal operators' spokesman, said no grain is being loaded, cleaned or shipped as a result of the dispute, which comes at a time when operators have embarked on "an ambitious program" to ship the Prairie commodity. The lockout of more than 700 workers came Sunday at midnight, after mediators were unable to resolve outstanding issues. No further talks are scheduled. The terminals operate on a five-day week with weekend overtime.

tmM WEATHER C8 i a ff 7 in -ivS k. By PETER O'NEIL Sun Ottawa Bureau HALIFAX New Democratic Party members were still pondering Sunday whether leader Audrey McLaughlin's low-key leadership style will survive in a bare-knuckled election battle. "She's improved," B.C. delegate Gordon Campbell, of the Port Moody-Coquitlam riding, said at the conclusion of the party's three-day policy convention. "But I think the true test will come in the election.

How she does on the campaign trail is the true test of any politician." McLaughlin avoided making any major gaffes in the party's first convention since her 1989 leadership win over Dave Barrett and five others. Her party, aided by a compromise resolution introduced by B.C. leader Mike Harcourt, managed to avoid an ugly battle on national television over the Constitution. But McLaughlin was clearly upstaged by Ontario Premier Bob Rae, who dazzled delegates with both his speaking and musical talents. Rae ignited a series of standing ovations with a fiery speech Saturday that blasted the Mulroney government's leadership.

Later that evening at a lobster feast, he earned more roars of approval after taking to the stage to pound the ivories and sing his own song, We're In The Same Boat Now. (Rae is a fine pianist, but a horrible singer.) Meanwhile, many NDP eyes glazed over during McLaughlin's speaking appearances. A number of the 973 delegates were seen chatting with each other during her speeches, and the only heartfelt ovation was in response to her reminder Friday of the party's opposition to the Gulf War. And during the constitutional debate, Har- UNSETTLED WEATHER will keep conditions showery on Tuesday.

Port McNeill's Dr. Granger Avery presented the motion to the association's annual general meeting Saturday. He said B.C.'s current legal limit is "more hazardous, in statistical terms, than driving without a seatbelt." Most of the doctors thought it too stringent, however, and votid it down.

It's foolish to be imprudent," Exner said, with a subtle chuckle, in a telephone interview from his chancery office in Winnipeg. He spoke slowly, quietly, choosing each word with precision.

Despite earthy roots, the new Roman Catholic archbishop of Vancouver is also erudite: speaking six languages, holding two master's degrees and a doctorate in moral theology.

A man of contrasts, the 62-year-old Saskatchewan-born archbishop of Winnipeg has the common touch, as well as the painstakingly careful orthodoxy of one ho staunchly upholds traditional Vatican doctrine. When Adam Exner served as bishop of Kamloops between 1974 and 19S2, he would spend his days off riding with the cowboys, herding and branding cattle. Occasionally, he still plays polkas and old-time waltzes on his accordion. Most of his limited spare time goes to golf. Like his conservative predecessor in Vancouver, the late archbishop James Carney, however, the archbishop-elect for the 300,000 nominal Catholics stretched between Hope and the Sunshine Coast strongly defends priestly celibacy and opposes artificial birth control and ordaining women.
