When Governor Sanchez doomed his political career last March by spurning his wife of 31 years in favor of a comely aide, Muñoz took over the Popular Democratic Party's drive to retain common wealth status. Ever since, he has been stumping like a young Congressman, speaking to small groups of party regulars and on radio and television.

Though neither his name nor his mu sic has ever appeared on any of the popularity polls, Eric Siday is one of the highest-paid and most frequently played composers in the world. No day goes by, in fact, that roughly 80% of the U.S. population does not hear at least one of his compositions.
