...Talkies: American Cinema's Transition to Sound 1926-1931," Donald Crafton New York: Charles Scribner's Sons...

Billy Carter lobbied for Libya and peddled Billy Beer. The hard-drinking Sam Houston Johnson was practically kept under White House arrest by L.B.J. Roger Clinton, a mediocre musician and sometime actor (playing "Mayor Bubba" in Pumpkinhead II: Blood Wings), lived up to his bad-brother billing recently by abusing a nightclub bouncer and getting arrested for drunk driving--all after receiving a presidential pardon himself. He also submitted his own list...
