Desperate Men. —

In, a world. being. forced 7
into _triviality and superfic-
iality by an ever-increasing

**people’’ mentality,
garet is Canada’s darling
(variously) or pain in the
rear-end (to many), sitting

behind an easel on the shore, -
' painting a self-portrait with

the waves drowning every-
one else a ‘background.

If the Canadian publishing

industry suffers any major
setbacks, it won’t necessarily
be Mrs. Trudeau’s fault, but
she didn’t help much at that.

The hardcover edition is .

being manufactured in Tor-
onto because of lower
Canadian production costs
due to the discounted dollar.
But the book will sell. for
$10.95 in the United States,
while it is $12.95 here.
Paddington is distributing
the book in Britain, while
Grosset and Dunlap will
handle distribution in the
U.S. Canadian publishers
have been left out of Ithe
scene altogether. Several
Canadian firms put forward
bids, but Paddington appar-
ently had obligations to New
York-based Random House

which handles all of Pad--

dington’s Canadian dist-
ribution rights.

The book will not appear in
paperback before 1980,
adding further to the wocs of
the little people caught up in

. the throes of personality

worship or detestation:
having to shell out big bucks
for the hardcover privilege of
admiring or hating a star.

- MARGARET DURING FILMING of Kings. and

The publisher, Paddington oe

Press of London, England,

‘says the book’s publication is"

being timed to coincide just

prior to the next federal

election.

_ If Margaret writes the way.
she acts on the screen, she —

will hardly be a threat to
professional writers. A rec-

ent screening of a short clip.

from her latest film, The

Guardian Angel, on a public .

affairs program, revealed

._that her dramatic abilities

are hardly abundant.

Yet the ‘‘estranged"’ wife
“of the Prime Minister is often

a target of vindicism, mostly
from individuals who feel
threatened by her, mostly
professionals who do not like
her free access to unlimited
apportunity despite a seem-
ingly complete lack of talent.

But say the publishers, it
doesn’t matter that Maggie
might not posess that much
talent. It’s what she has to
say that is going to count, not
how she says it.

‘*Let’s not forget,’’ says
John Marquee of Paddington
Press, ‘‘that this is the first
time in recent history that a
woman has left a_ ruling
figure... a woman who has
had private discussions with
Castro, Prince Charles,
‘Sadat, the Shah of Iran, and
‘similar heads of state.”’

“There is no doubt that

people will want to read what
she says."’
