A8 - Wednesday, December 12, 1984 - North Shore News Media star for the right wing ETER WORTHINGTON man. And when he failed to get into parlia- ment | knew there wasn’t much hope for this country. In case you’ve forgotten, Worthington was the co- founder and editor of the Toronto Sun, that irreverent, anti-establishment newspaper that arose trom the ashes ot the old Toronto Telegram As a reporter he covered most of the big events of the past 2S years or so. As a col- ummist, he drove Trudeau crazy No pansy, this Peter has now written the best goddam book of its kind I've ever read. It is aptly en- titled “‘looking for Trou- ble’ as) published by Kev Porter Books, and costs $24.95. The story takes you behind the scenes in Moscow (from which our hero had to make a hasty exit), the Middle East, Africa and a dozen other hot- spots. And one of the reasons ws oa dehght is that the author is one of the few media stars in the land who have something of a right- wing bent. Berton, Frum, Fotheringham, Gwyn, ef all are all bleeders and weepers. But don't get the idea that the book 1s ponderous or pompous When reading it, 1 must frequently have startled the neighbors by bursting in- to loud laughter. When Wor- thington was covering, the Biafran story, for instance (remember Biafra?) a sweet litle world-saving young NDPer was in the offing. Party headquarters in Or- tawa had told the boy that in Biafra, tampons and sanitary napkins were more precious than gold. He arrived with a suitcaseful And Wor thington writes “As far as | know. the napkins were useless, although he handed a couple to the young lady at the aur- port who helped ius ! wondered how on carth you'd give someone a Tam pax as a house pitt. * Thank you for the dehcous dinner, 3 mailbox is my kind of get this straig ht Doug Collins Mrs. Oyukwu. By the way, | hope you'll accept this sanitary napkin as a token of my appreciation."’ By great good luck (the kind of good luck that tollows good reporters) Wor thington was only a tew teet away from Harvey Oswald when that killer was himselt killed by Jack Ruby And the author's account of the Ruby trial is a classic The proceedings were dominated by a Monty Python type judge named Joe B.

The case went to court, but was thrown out As he puts at, ‘‘Canadian governments have almost traditionally tgnored = or downplayed Soviet esplonage activities here.”’ The author knew lgor Gouzenko well, and provides a moving defence of a man, who, for his pains in expos- ing Moscow for what it is, was maligned by the media and shabbily treated by the government.
