time up pod six weeks five by Esther Taylor A lifetime Tory who backs up her terrible man description of Pierre Trudcau with unprln table four letter words admitted staying up until Tour a to finish The Northern Magus by Richard Her verdict A book whether you loathe Trudeau or like him Somehow has succeeded In getting inside the M tough skin Nothing else that has been written about PLT including tht mildly laudatory Trudeau by George Radwanskl com pares in percept with The Northern Magus At the end of the book still a riddle hut not an unreadable riddle If I had lots of dough I would buy enough copies of Northern Magus for every P around so they would know what they re up against in the Grit party The front cover of Northern Magus is almost inspired It depicts Canada Prime Minister in a dashing black cloak and hat relieved by a red boutloniere carnation He is looking down shy wearing a smile which depending on party affiliation can described is diabolical or endearingly Set this cover beside the head and shoulders portrait of a visionary looking Trudeau on the front of Radwanskl book and one can almost guess at the contents Every Canadian should read Northern Magus if only to learn something of what goes on behind the scenes of government political Out and Insiders about whom the overage Canuk knows next to nothing Who manipulates whom and why and their aims and ambitions ore disclosed by Richard who interviewed more than insiders in search of past and present truths about cabinet ministers MP Prime Ministerial and ministerial aides party officials and personal friends to Trudeau There arc candid insights into the Prime Ministers fractured marriage beginning as a romantic love affair with a flower child who flit ted when she could no longer stand the stress of living with Canada most complex prime minister Gwyn makes the point since boyhood Trudeau has never lost a single fight Only one opponent has held Trudeau at least to a draw Margaret J Gwyn sees Pierre as a sorcerer and migienn which accounts for the revealing title The Northern Magus Richard editor of the Toronto Star is by way of being a in himself a magician with words His book Is rather
