A leading Canadian journalist — "the McLuhan of feminism in Canada," as Bob puts it. Her November 1974 interview with McLuhan caught him, off-record, claiming a kind of telepathy; she cut it from the published article, and Bob later obtained the recording. The same interview yields McLuhan's bleak line about the difficulty of reaching anyone.
