np Gary Stewart's Out of Hand album in Wayne's honor (or more to the point, it was already a Gary Stewart kind of night, and reading about Wayne gives me a bittersweet excuse to put his music on). it looks like Wayne also wrote the underrated "Oh, Sweet Temptation".

She ran for the PC leadership in 1976, the first political convention I ever paid attention to--wrote a paper on it for a high school history class. She was fifth on the first ballot with 9.1%; Joe Clark ended up winning, then beat Trudeau in the next election.
