A lot of smart and compassionate journalists have worked for NOW Magazine over its 40-year history. Few were as sharp as Wayne Roberts – and that’s not just because he was the only one in the room with a PhD. Wayne was an iconoclast. He was the gravitas guy. People didn’t call him Dr. Roberts for nothing. But despite his impressive mind, Wayne always had a way of making you feel smart when you talked to him.
