SYNOPSIS: "Someone, God Knows, Has to Save the Country..." Dr. Foth is at it again...with rapier wit straight to the heart of the Trudeaucrats. The emperor of the back page of Maclean's and syndicated scourge of Southam News slices through Canada from coast to coast in this trenchant and funny reprise of how the Liberals under the leadership of Pierre Elliott Reincarnation have shattered the country into so many provincial pieces. From the Maritimes to B.C. and all stops between, he makes his rounds, hitting the high points and the low...provincial politics and politicians, obfuscating lawyers, the media menagerie, western separatists, Ottawa's swivel servants, and the swinging bachelor P. M. himself. From stem to stern, Dr. Foth dissects the state of the nation...and diagnoses the nation in a state. Allan Fotheringham was born in Hearne, Saskatchewan on August 31, 1932. "The town, " he writes, "was so small we couldn't afford a village idiot; everyone had to take turns." He went to a one-room schoolhouse (containing 12 grades), where he spent most of his time outdoors, snaring gophers with a length of binder twine. "This, " he says, "proved educational for later use in political journalism." Eventually he moved to B. C. ("which improved the IQ of both provinces") with his family. He went to Chilliwack High School, where he wrote a column for the school paper, and the University of British Columbia, where, naturally, he wrote a column for the Ubyssey. He joined the sports department of the Vancouver Sun after graduation, leaving three years later to travel and write in Britain, Europe and Russia. He returned to the Sun as a travel writer, then spent a sabbatical year at the University of Toronto on a Southam Fellowship. For the next four years, he sharpened his outrage as a member of the Sun's editorial board. He was given a column in 1968 and for 11 years used his notoriously cutting style to expose every bit of sham, cant and outright double dealing he could find. But, his work had another significance, as Ron Haggart, a fine columnist himself, now turned TV producer, has pointed out: "Fotheringham brought Vancouver a wider view of the nation than the narrow B. C. outlook. It was a major contribution; it had a real effect." It also brought him national attention. In 1975, while still at the Sun, he began his reign of the back page of Maclean's, a bi-monthly, then weekly forum that sent him on his way to becoming Canada's most controversial columnist. In 1979, he left the Sun to write a national column for the FP News Service in Ottawa; he switched to the Southam chain just before FP News folded in 1980. His column appears in the 15 Southam papers and is syndicated to five others. He continues to be the best-read feature in...
