Underground Figure. In the U.S., he hopes to be known-period. Lightfoot is Canada's top-selling male singer, with an annual income of about $250,000 and a 17-room house in a stockbroker-and-executive neighborhood of Toronto.

He is convinced that such a firm will be necessary in the 1970s if the European auto industry is to weather American competition. He therefore let it be known that if he could not strike a bar gain with Citroën he would look elsewhere-perhaps toward West Germany's Volkswagen. Such a combine might so overwhelm France's entire auto industry that it would crumble within a few years. Not even Charles de Gaulle...
