Currently reading Peter Mansbridge's memoir Off the Record. An interesting person who has seen Canada, and its politics and personages, from Coast to Coast to Coast since the 60's. The book is lots of little chapters each focusing on a person or event. Of primary interest, certainly, to those of us who watched "The National" (prime time national newscast from Canada's public broadcaster, the CBC) for many years, but also for the perspective of a person who watched, and reported on, the world for more than 50 years, 30+ of them as the anchor and chief correspondent of The National.
