...Hearing the objection, McCain dropped his amendment, but the incident left a bad taste with several of the committee's Democrats. They knew that smaller television companies were pushing hard to loosen the FCC rules. Two of those companies were Glencairn and Paxson Communications, which had hired Hector Alcalde to represent them before McCain, with apparently good results. One month after the hearing, McCain met with the head of Glencairn, Eddie Edwards. Nine days later, at least three members of the Edwards family gave McCain maximum donations of $1,000 each...
...later years Croker got "an achin' for style." He went to England, saying: "I am out of politics, and now I am going to win the Derby." He bought a stud farm, Glencairn, near Dublin, where he played the role of country squire on and off for the rest of his life; in 1907 his horse, Orby, at 100 to 9, won the Epsom Derby...

There is frustration in all of them, the frustration that drove them to sea and that...

In doing so he built 103 minutes of photoplay around a simple character study of the S.S. Glencairn, a slow tramp steamer bound from the West Indies to Britain with a cargo of munitions. During most of the voyage, slight, sensitive Photographer Gregg Toland's camera is turned on the seamen who inhabit the forecastle-a burly, brawling Irishman (Thomas Mitchell); a big, boneheaded Swede (John Wayne...
