The Inside Story: Bringing ‘Maggie ' to the West Kootenay

that, for them — as well as for
the author, by her own admis-
sion — came down to one
familiar word: money.”

If anything, Maclean's un-
derstated the case.

Even in the News/Mirror
situation there were elements
of hysteria that were almost
comic. There were telephone
calls at_6 a.m, (and even one
case when the™News/Mirror.
publisher tracked down Opti-
mum's vice-president at his
home telephone number late

one night to clear up a point.

There was the exchange
of lengthy telegrams detailing
legal agreements including an
undertaking by the

tically obsessed with a “beauti-
ful, god-like man” named Yves

: Lewis, whom she met while on

- the vacation with her family in

Tahiti where she also met

, Pierre Trudeau for the first
time.

e In 1969, when she was
given a trip to Morrocco by her

arents as a university gradua-
tion gift, Margaret lived for
eight months in communes,
‘ smoked dope, dropped LSD and
“threw away my conventional
notions of sexual morality.”

e Among her other Mor-
roccan adventures, Margaret
narrowly escaped the clutches
of the “drug king of Tangiers”
who offered to set her up in a
villa as his mistress, and later,
unknowingly, nearly became a
heroin courier.

e Her much-publicized
nervous breakdown after the
1974 election was “phony.”

@ After her 1974 infidelity
Margaret sought refuge in
smoking up to four joints of
marijuana — which she had
used in Pierre’s presence be-
fore their marriage — and the
prime minister, on arriving

: home from the office, “would
come up not to kiss me, but to
vsniff me.”

The Royal Hudson is own-
ed by the Province of British
Columbia but as an ex-Canadian
Pacific Railroad engine, she
operates internationally on a
federal licence obtained for her
by the CPR on behalf of the
province. A small point per-
haps, but legally the Hudson
could not make her goodwill
tours without the co-operation
of her former owner-operators.

It has been said that the
sailing ship and the steam
locomotive were the two most
animate objects ever created
by man. Gaze’ on the Hudson
and you will agree.

in’ the event that premature
release of the excerpts was
traceable to the News/Mirror,
A registered letter was
even sent the News/Mirror’s
central printing plant asking

for tight security and warning,

of the legal and financial
consequences were it not ob-
seved.

+ In fact, as this is written,
our production personnel are
working behind doors closed to
anyone except staff members
whle Guedes works behind a
closed door under similar secur-

ity. .

But if negotiations for the
Beyond Reason serialization
were agonizing for the News/
Mirror staff ("Have we got
Maggie yet?" was the constant
query put to Guedes), the
actual receipt of the material
once the agreement telegrams
had been exchanged led to a
chase reminiscent of Around
the World in 80 Days.

Optimum agreed to send

the manuscript by Air Canada

to do a0,

‘The result was fear that it
wouldn't arrive in time for the.
first issue of the “new” Mirror.

Campbell spent two hours
on the telephone talking with
PWA and Air Canada freight’
representatives in Vancouver

‘and Montreal. The result was,

that Air Canada traced down

Now, I'm looking forward
to reading “Maggie,” as we
very affectionately call the

serialization around the News/ ~

Mirror, But somehow J think
that no matter how revealing

. the excerpts may‘or may not

be,. the staff of the News/
Mirror will always believe the
biger story was how we got

In an affidavit filed with
the Supreme Court of Ontario
in the Padington Press vs
Henry Champ case, the London
Daily Express disclosed it had
invested 100,000 pounds ster-
Jing (apx. $242,000 Canadian) in
its “Trudeau serialization pro-
gram" while the Toronto Sun
reportedly paid $25,000.

Campbell declined to dis-
close the cost of the excerpts to
him, admitting only that his
newspapers had engaged in
“chequebook journalism.”

At the time the News/
Mirror acquired the serializa-
tion rights, says Guedes, only
one.other B.C, newspaper, the
Vancouver Sun, had also pur-
chased the excerpts.

“With the Pacific Press
labor dispute still on, the News
and Mirror may be the only
newspapers in this province to
publish them,” Guedes noted.

“Even under normal. cir- .

added. “But with the expansion
