That energy, perseverance and talent for organization earned Clark the attention of party elders. From 1969 to 1972 he was executive assistant to then Tory Leader Robert Stanfield. He resigned to run for the House of Commons from the Alberta district of Rocky Mountain; he won his seat and, shortly afterward, his future wife when 20-year-old Maureen McTeer volunteered to work for him. The couple married in 1973 and have a two-year-old daughter. Maureen, who continues to use her maiden name and is pursuing her own career as a lawyer, campaigned vigorously for her husband during...

...Then there are the costs of bribing government officials, both abroad and right here at home. And one hotshot executive costs us $300,000 a year, not to mention paying for his legitimate business expenses--breakfasts at the Ritz, lunches at Chez Moi. But we make the sacrifice, because talent doesn't come cheap, and without the very finest managers, we couldn't continue to provide you with the service you deserve...
