	SIR ERIC MATTHEW GAIRY
		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.

		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.
		Sir Eric, the architect of the 1st World UFO Congress in Acapulco in 1975, insists that there are "other beings in the universe, other universes in space-time.
		This is where the once-formidable Sir Eric, now deposed head of state and self-proclaimed messiah, sorts out the tangle of past and present, glory and disfavor, illusion and perceived reality, perhaps an inaccessible fact or two.

	Science Fair Projects - New Jewel Movement
		The New Jewel Movement was led by Maurice Bishop, a charismatic figure who came to power in Grenada in 1979 following a period of instability which had occurred under the previous regime, led by Sir Eric Gairy, whose rule had grown to be increasingly paranoid.
		Bishop's supporters took advantage of a trip that was made by Gairy to New York City to address the United Nations on one of his primary topics of concern, UFOs, and took power in a well-executed revolution with only minimal violence.
		Bishop was a Marxist who strengthened ties with Cuba, inviting Cuban construction battallions into the country to assist in the construction of a new international airport.

		Before and even up to Independence in 1974, Eric Gairy was the poor and little people’s hero; but his biggest shortcoming was his failure to accept and tolerate criticism and opposition from any quarter.
		Almost on all fours with the Eric Gairy entrance in the Labour Movement in 1951, Maurice and his vibrant team of progressive thinkers and intellectuals, in the early 1970s, were whole-heartedly accepted by the lower, the middle, and the upper class groupings who had all suffered from Gairy’s excesses from 1967 onwards.
		But just like Eric Gairy and his GULP before them, Maurice and his joint leaders and NJM, in a much, much, shorter period, totally, deceptively and disgracefully, disappointed the very people on whose backs they rode to power and prominence.
