Peter C. Newman fonds. Fourth accrual.

Establishment Man: A Portrait of Power (1982)
This accrual includes correspondence, “back-up” (research) material, sound recordings and transcripts of interviews, manuscript and proofs.

Correspondence
In the writing of The Establishment Man, as with the preparation of his earlier works, Newman appears not to have kept separate correspondence files. The letters described in the list which follows have been removed from files of general research material and clearly do not represent all of the author’s correspondence in connection with this book. The researcher is also directed to the copies of Conrad Black’s correspondence with others, supplied to Newman by Black, which have been included with other general backup research material in Box 129.

Boxes 118-129           Back-up Material
The material compiled by Newman and his researchers for use in The Establishment Man has been sorted according to the various chapters to which it corresponds. Where material was received loose or in unmarked files it has been assigned by the archivist to the chapter to which it most closely relates.
The back-up files here comprise newspaper clippings and company reports, but these files also rely very heavily upon the transcripts of tape recorded interviews which have frequently been cut up and stapled onto large sheets of white paper and annotated by the author.

Manuscript
The genesis of The Establishment Man can be found in the commanding figure of J.A. (“Bud”) McDougald. McDougald was a dominant figure in the first volume of The Canadian Establishment and Newman suggests that since his death Conrad Black has, in some ways, assumed the older man’s mantle. Chapter 4 of The Establishment Man, “The Demise of a Titan” (originally entitled “Bud Croaks”), which explores the relationship between Black and McDougald seems to have been the first chapter of this book drafted as it was received in 1981 with the third accrual of the fonds, The Acquisitors.
Newman’s earlier “establishment” books each cover a great deal of disparate territory and, as a result, the material for each chapter and for sections within a chapter is clearly differentiated and readily identifiable. In The Establishment Man, however, where a single individual dominates the book, the manuscript was more fluid in its early stages and there were more changes made in the positioning of chapters and sections than in his previous works. In sorting, the attempt has been made to arrange the various versions of each section in chronological order, starting with the earliest.
