 Allan Gotlieb's The Washington Diaires
Gotlieb describes the job of an ambassador as "salesman, promoter, public-relations operator, huckster, animateur, impresario and lobbyist." By any objective measure, he excelled at all of these.
Gotlieb recounts everything from how the big deals were hatched - he played a key role in coaxing the Americans into an acid rain treaty, and lobbied hard for free trade - to the minutiae of handling Canadian politicians' visits to Washington, to the challenges of piercing the bureaucratic walls protecting Washington's senior decision-makers.
Gotlieb was sincerely conflicted about the man, at once admiring his charisma and belief in federalism, but being quite troubled by the wild contradictions in his politics and his arrogance.

 Gotlieb was Canada's diplomatic statesman   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
For many other Canadians, Gotlieb fit in too perfectly with Ronald Reagan's Washington; he was too eager to ingratiate himself with the imperialists and materialists and too dismissive of cultural nationalists at home.
Gotlieb made almost as many headlines as her husband during those Washington years, initially because of her "Dear Beverly" column in The Washington Post lampooning diplomatic life and later because of a 1986 incident when she slapped her social secretary in exasperation over an ever-changing guest list for a dinner honouring the visiting Mulroneys.
Gotlieb is obviously a loyal and devoted husband.

Kerry had barely delivered his concession speech when Gotlieb held forth about how Canada is a washed-up power in the world and our only hope lies in improving our connections in Washington.
According to Gotlieb, Canadians have to choose between "realism" and "romanticism" in their relationship with the U.S. The "realistic" approach involves accepting U.S. power and for the most part co-operating with it, even when it violates international law.
Gotlieb calls for Canada to behave towards the U.S. in a way that I suspect most Canadians would regard as subservient and offensive — as helpmate to a bully.

 REVIEW: Mr. Gotlieb takes Washington
Gotlieb, a career diplomat and Rhodes Scholar who holds two degrees from Oxford and one from the Harvard Law School, served as Canada's ambassador to Washington from 1981 through 1989 under prime ministers Pierre Trudeau and Brian Mulroney.
Laced throughout the diaries are Gotlieb's musings on his diplomatic role, on the importance of "visibility" in a capital where Canada is taken for granted and on truth-juggling in what is essentially "a duplicitous profession." His approach, he writes, was "to acknowledge differences, instead of pretending publicly they don't exist.
Gotlieb is at his most incisive on the oddities of movers and shakers.

Allan Gotlieb, who served as Canada’s ambassador to the United States during the 1980s opined that the Democrats have to stop selecting privileged Massachusetts intellectuals as presidential candidates.
Although Gotlieb’s description of John Kerry as an “intellectual” is certainly debatable, there may be something to the former ambassador’s theory of the beer factor.
