The 'famed Canadian pundit' is unnamed.
Any relation to Rula Lenska?
"The 'famed Canadian pundit' is unnamed."
And this Canadain political junkie can't think of who it would be. Can't be that 'famed'.
Scott Young, who passed away last June at the age of 87, was a well-known sports journalist for both the Telegram (forerunner of The Sun) and Toronto's Globe and Mail, as well as the author of many books (including several hockey classics and the inevitable "Neil and Me'"). As a young man, he first worked for a Winnipeg newspaper as well as writing for Collier's, Argosy, and Sports Illustrated.
Before specializing in sports, he covered World War II from London for The Canadian Press wire service, as well as the Kennedy assassination. He frequently appeared on the "Hockey Night in Canada" Saturday night telecasts,
Scott Young gave up his newspaper career in the early 1980s, dismayed by what he saw as a bad trend in the journalistic profession -- the use of "unnamed sources." So, like his son, he was a bit ahead of his time.
When his father died last year, Neil said that he had learned from his father, "The most vivid way to get an idea across was to lay oneself bare in the knowledge that others would identify with the bareness, the sometimes painful truth." One of his most haunting songs begins, "Old man, look at my life, I'm a lot like you were," although reputedly inspired by another older fellow.
