Description:

In Part II of this program various biographers, politicians, historians and newspaper men are interviewed about William Lyon Mackenzie King's political achievements and private preoccupation with mysticism.~Biographer Fred Gibson talks about King's gift for political leadership and focus on power. Professor Arthur Lower came up with the equation (Tim Buck plus Cardinal Villeneuve divided by two equals King) - the middle point between any two extremes. ~John Diefenbaker reveals that he studied King daily in the House of Commons to try to find out the reasons behind his success.~Clarence Decatur Howe had a great affection for King. Eugene Forsey however, felt that King was utterly ruthless in his treatment of Colonel J.L. Ralston and Lord Byng. Bruce Hutchison thought King was "a greedy man who sought power sincerely".
