Kicking a lady when she's down?

Maclean's columnist Barbara Amiel (Lady Black) continues to exert a fascination in some quarters, apparently. A longish piece in the Daily Mail of Britain, is titled The Fall of the Empress of Excess. In what is mostly a rehash from the clipping files, Amiel Black is described as "a woman whose climb up the social ladder was vertiginous, but who today spends much of her time sequestered in partial exile at the couple's Toronto home, reliant on the kindness of a diminishing number of close friends in a country that she once professed to despise."
