He was a brilliant photographer whose picture of Pierre Trudeau sliding down those bannisters back in '68 first jumped off the page at everyone used to an age of staider politicians. It made the Irish and British papers, and its impact probably made Pierre Trudeau's fame outside Canada. Before that Canada was mounties, lumberjacks and Canada Dry to most of us over on this side of the pond. Ted showed us it also had charisma. He will always be remembered, and it's only a pity that the sad fall-out left by some murdering lunatic with a gun in Nova Scotia will possibly impact on the coverage of a great man's passing. Being the great newspaper man, I'm sure he's looking down and laughing at the irony of it. May he rest in peace.
