Part of the reporting assignment fell to another onetime Canadian bureau chief, Gavin Scott. He joined TIME as a correspondent in his home town of Montreal in 1959 and then served in Ottawa for 1½ years before moving on to Buenos Aires, Madrid, Boston, Beirut, Saigon and San Francisco. Scott's current beat is South America, which he covers from Rio de Janeiro, but he was on vacation in the village of Georgeville, Quebec, last month when it became apparent that Mulroney could win big. Scott quickly revved up and did some intensive pulse-taking of government officials...
Gauger had found it difficult to corner Mulroney for a long conversation, but on the flight back to Ottawa the day after his victory, the Prime Minister-elect granted the interview published with our story. Meanwhile, Associate Editor Jim Kelly flew to Montreal and Quebec to observe the campaign, and met Mulroney and his wife before sitting down to write the cover story.

Ticket sales of 5,797,823 broke the Moscow record (5,466,321) and left Montreal in the dust (3,195,170). Considering high ratings-90% of all American households had the Games on at some time-ABC seems unlikely to press for a boycott rebate. Anchorman Peter Jennings and the whole fall schedule have been shirt-tailing to glory...
