          The province of Quebec approved a C$37M fixed Teflon
     roof yesterday for Olympic Stadium, according to Patricia
     Brooks of the Montreal GAZETTE.  The new 22,000-square-foot
     roof will replace "the tattered orange Kevlar covering that
     was designed to be retractable but never lived up to
     expectations."  Revenue from the provincial cigarette tax
     will pay for the roof.  The project was awarded to U.S.-
     based Birdair and Montreal's Rousseau Sauve Warren with
     construction set to begin next March and be completed in
     October '98 (Montreal GAZETTE, 7/11).
