	SIR ERIC MATTHEW GAIRY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Gairy, the showman, perhaps, saw opportunity in such unwelcome attention by the international press and was always available for interviews and press conferences, impressing journalists at his adroitness to field difficult questions and amusing them with his unabashed obsession with UFOs.
		Gairy, plagued by failing eyesight and illness, was too weak to campaign - to harangue audiences in his revivalist style that combined mauvais langue and stinging personal attacks.
		Gairy was one of Grenada's representatives at the historic Federation conference in Jamaica in 1957 and was one of the founding fathers of Carifta and Caricom.

	Grenada - Government and Politics
		Gairy and GULP lost only two of the six general elections held from 1951 until 1979, when the party was overthrown by the NJM.
		Although Gairy appeared to have retained some support among the rural population, most Grenadians seemed to have rejected him as a result of his past history of strongman rule, corruption, and harassment of political opponents.
		In April 1985, he claimed that the party's leadership would be purged, that attempts would be made to expand its low level of support among Grenadian youth, and that all future GULP candidates for office would be drawn directly from the ranks of the party and not recruited for only one campaign.

		In 1979, Bishop and his comrades learned of a plan put forward by Gairy to assassinate the NJM's leaders while the dictator was out of the country.

		Tipped off, Gairy had flown to New York a day before and was seeking renewed U.N. support for the investigation of UFOs (cynics say to divert attention from his wretched political record) when he was deposed in absentia.
