...Trudeau looks to the U.S. as his economic problems deepen...
Smooth of pen, wicked of wit, and controversial of strip, Pulitzer-Prizewinning Cartoonist Garry Trudeau has skewered politics and society for twelve years. And there lies the trouble. After guiding the lives of such outspoken, '60s-scarred characters as Joanie Caucus, B.D., Uncle Duke, and his own alter ego, Michael J. Doonesbury, through some 4,300 cartoon strips, Trudeau, 34, thinks it is time to refill the inkwell. "I need a breather," he confesses. "Investigative cartooning is a young man's game."

Only when he was safely atop the Silverthorn Ice Corridor of 11,452-ft. Mount Athabasca in Alberta could Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, 62, finally take a breather during his vacation.

The latest Gallup poll shows the opposition Progressive Conservatives would take 32% of the vote if an election were held now, vs. only 23% for the Liberals (three months ago, those figures were 39% vs. 34%). "People are frightened," says Michael Wilson, a Conservative Member of Parliament. "They don't understand why this government can't manage its funds better." The Tories, however, have few fresh economic ideas to offer. Trudeau does not have to call another election until early 1985, but he has been pressured...
