...election. Joe, a burly blond workingman, must assure that the Win the War Special (a high-speed train with F.D.R.'s smiling profile on the engine) gets to Washington ahead of the G.O.P.'s 1929 Defeatist Limited. Directed by the immortal Chuck Jones, with music by Earl Robinson and E.Y.

His dark skin makes Tiger (whose nickname was taken from Earl's Vietnamese army buddy Nguyen Phong) all the more appealing in the world of golf, which not only...
...Earl and other themers, food, drink and entertainment are just the beginning stages of what they hope will be empires built on a brand name. "I'm no longer a restaurateur," Earl declares in an accent from the Robin Leach school of elocution. "I'm in the business of building trademarks." That's one reason why each restaurant is designed with a merchandise shop to tempt customers to buy such must-have souvenirs as jogging suits, $20 T shirts or baby baseball togs.
