CBC Super Special
~ aired tonight

By JANE HARRISON
TORONTO (CP) — Some:
people think of him as Caz-
ada’s meanest old cvriaud-
geon, but the truth is Gordon
Sinclair really does have a

“soft spot in his heart.

A rendition by singer Ju-
liette of a Scottish song, I'll
Take You Home Again; Kath-
leen, on a television special to
be broadcast tonight on CBC-
TV, ‘reduced the crusty
broadcaster to tears. And the
mere mention of the song in
an interview Prompted him
abruptly to change the sub-
ject.

“Kathleen, that was my
grandmother's name,” he
says, wiping his eyes. ° “I geta

was. At the age of 81, he
refused to mellow.

Who else, for instance,

would call Terry Fox fool ;

“No four-legged animal has
ever walked across Canada,”
Sinclair says when asked his
opinion of Fox, the one-

tempted to run across Can-
ada to raise funds for cancer
research before eventually

to the disease

The hour-long CBC show,
called Super Special: A Trib-
ute to Gordon Sinclair, was
taped at a: dinner held late
last year to celebrate, as a
network release puts it, “the

life and career — thus far — ©

of the legendary Gordon Sin-
lair.”

Although it’s reassuring to
learn Sinclair's heart is not
made of stone after all, don't
let the ‘tears foo) you.

“As one-legged animal
tried to run across Canada,”
Sinclair said, “Now if that's

also foolhardy.’

Sinclair's career as a re-
porter began almost 60 years
ago when he joined The Star.
For six years he toiled away
in relative obscurity until one
day, thinking he had ates

her husband

Actress Jessica Lange is
being sued for alimony by her
ailing husband, who is re-

to be living in a
shabby New York apartfhent
building after his film-making
career was cut short by an
eye disease.

Paco Grande, whose only
income is a $870-a-month
social seturity' cheque, is
asking for $800 a week in
temporary alimony in his
state Supreme Court divorce
action, his lawyer, Lawrence
Fabian, said.

Grande's situation came to
light in articles in New York
magazine and the New York
Post. :

The lawavit was instituted
‘in. late 1980 shortly - after
Grande and Lange separated,
Pabian said. -

Lange, who starred in re-
makes of King Kong and The
Postman “Always Rings

Twice, is described as having
&*-six-figure income. - Since
separating from her Busbend.
the has had a child by bale
star Mikhail Baryshnikov.

3) Fabian said Lange offered
Grande a flat sum, reportedly
$10,000, before the divorce
action was instituted but
Maurice Spanbock, Lange's
lawyer, declined comment,
saying he hasn't spoken with
his client.

Grande's disease has left
him with tunnel vision and he
gets around with a guide dog.
He and Lange were married
in 1971 when they were stu-
dents at the University of
Minnesota,

“I sailed in and slammed
that art show as hard as I
could . . . and to my great

surprise my story turned up §

on page one with a byline.

“I took from that the idea
that people like to read
criticism — — hard-hitting
criticism ... and since then
Tve thrown the needle at a
lot of things.”

REACTION VARIES -

But the reaction, he said, is
sometimes unexpected.

Sinclair, whose newspaper
career at The Star stretched
from 1922 to 1960 — although
he was fired and rehired at
least 11 times — also has
written eight books. For sev-
eral years he has been work-
ing at radio station CFRB,
doing 16 broadcasts a week.

“1 like the human interest-
style stories and I concen-
trate on them here. I have an
audience at-noon bigger than
alithe other Toronto stations
combined, That's because I
tella different t style
little sexy.”

Heart problems last ‘sum:
mer made him “a little ‘in
firm” but haven't slowed him
down. He is, however, con-
sidering rétiring, when: he
turns 82 this June to take-
care of hs invalid wife,
Gladys.

As well as his work at
CFRB, Sinclair continues to
do weekly taping of CBC-
TV's Front Page Challenge.
He is an original panelist on
the 26-year-old show. .

He attributes his energy to
his mother “who lived to be
86 and was very vigorous and
strong up till then.”
