  Claude Wagner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In his career, Wagner was a Crown prosecutor, professor of criminal law and judge.
He was re-elected in the 1974 election, and stood as a candidate at the Progressive Conservative leadership convention of 1976.
Wagner attracted support amongst Tories who believed that having a leader from Quebec would enable the party to break the Liberal Party's stranglehold on the province, and from right-wing Tories attracted by his law and order reputation.

Wagner was made manager in his final year, 1917, when he was forty-three, but decided he didn't like managing after only five games and one victory.

Wagner also shows his skills by tricking Hans Lobert to try and take 3B and then tagging him out at 2B; With the Phils up 3—0, in the 8th he nabs Beals Becker at 2B with a hidden ball trick.

 CD Baby: CLAUDE DORSEY: What a Wonderful World
Claude Dorsey is one of the few original pre-bop jazz pianists still alive, specializing in a "stride" piano style all his own, with unique vocals, vibrant yet emotional; you have to hear this jazz "legend."
Claude has played in the presence of a long list of the finest jazz and blues musicians, among them his former sideman, Joe Williams; Nat King Cole, Duke Ellington, Liberace, and Count Basie.
Considered a gem of a jazz/blues recording, this CD showcases the talents of a musician from a largely bygone era, still vibrant and energetic at the piano.

 OnMilwaukee.com Music: Dorsey, Milwaukee's king of jazz, plays final gig
A Milwaukee musical legend, jazz pianist Claude Dorsey, is waving goodbye to local audiences with a "final show" at Panache on Sunday, March 20, according to his agent Barbara Wagner.
Claude and Mary discussed it and Claude agreed to play the final gig, and I set it up for March 20.
Wagner, whose father was also a jazzman and did time with the Miller Orchestra a half-century ago, says that in the short term, Dorsey's health and his reluctance make booking gigs too iffy to pursue.

 Debussy | Classical Music
Not until the late 19th and early 20th centuries did the line of succession stretching from Bach to Mahler begin to branch out, with major composers emerging from Russia, Bohemia, England, Scandinavia and the USA.
It was a Frenchman, Claude Debussy, who broke the German monopoly, revitalizing French music with his uniquely subtle art, and opening up a new sound-world for the 20th century.
The young Claude Achille and his siblings were often packed off to their Aunt Clementine in Cannes, where Debussy began to learn the piano with a former pupil of Chopin.

 Essentials of Music - Composers
Even as a student he let his concept of sound override many of the rules he was so assiduously taught by his teachers (much to their consternation).
He later turned away from Wagner, describing him as "a beautiful sunset mistaken for a dawn." Yet his one completed opera, Pelléas et Mélisande, owes much of its conception to this influence, even if the musical language is markedly different.
The other strong influences on Debussy at this time were the symbolist and decadent movements in poetry, with their concern for sound and abstract meaning.

He's so confident, in fact, that he's ready and willing to admit, in a retrospective moment, that a promise he made to Canada's Jews over 20 years ago was a mistake.
Prior to his nine-month prime ministership in 1979-'80, Clark, who three years earlier shot out of nowhere to defeat Brian Mulroney and Claude Wagner for the Tory leadership, pledged to the Jewish community that as PM, he would move Canada's embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
It was a bold gesture, for it would have gone squarely against Canada's policy on Jerusalem, which to this day defines the city as partly occupied.

As a follow-up, ELDHE will organize a series of more technical “study group” meetings between French and American health policy specialists to address and compare proposed solutions to specific problems.
