Speaking of, I haard Wayne give a short speech at a Republican convention in 1964 I think, that was a masterpiece. He was a bright guy who did well at USC before he dropped out and much underestimated as an actor. An excellent orator, technically as good as Reagan. On the wrong side of the Panama Canal issue, because he was pro-Latino.
