Foote's scholarship is obviously extensive, but he is also a gifted storyteller and assembler of vignettes. He includes nice touches of grand illusion. When Bedford Forrest led his Confederate cavalrymen on a raid into occupied Memphis, one of his officers captured the uniform of the Federal commander, C.C. Washburn, and proudly displayed it as a trophy. Forrest gallantly returned the uniform to Washburn under a flag of truce. Some weeks later, also under a flag of truce, Washburn sent Forrest a fine gray uniform made to measure by the cavalryman's own prewar Memphis tailor. As Jefferson...
...PRODUCER, Alison Clarkson, has clearly perceived and expressed the pure dramatic entity which is Antigone, binding together and bound with a classical simplicity, unity and harmony. The simple, symmetrical set, designed by Gary S. Gluck, is exploited to its full by Forrest Stone's lighting, which catches the most delicate mood and tone changes in the script. In one small shaft of light illuminating her and her captor, Antigone spends her last living moments with the guard who arrested her.

...eleven children, Troy, 40 (whose real first name is Forrest), grew up in the poor, populist-leaning "Little Dixie" section of southeastern Oklahoma. He dropped out of college to become a newsman. After 17 years of experience, including two stints as the Tulsa Tribune's Washington bureau chief, Troy quit in 1970 and bought the Observer from a priest, who had earlier taken it over from its founder, the Oklahoma City Roman Catholic diocese. Troy readily paid the asking price of $1 for the money-losing enterprise...
