...accurate. Jenkins, Meehan, and Rogers started one game apiece at second (all of them hit safely), while O’Hara got a couple of looks at designated hitter. Even if he ends up settling into a platoon or utility role, Jenkins has the confidence of a full-timer.“I feel like I’ve always been ready for that role,” he says. “I’m definitely ready to step up and play when called on. I think that I can perform well in that situation...
...would be sworn in at age 47, making him one of the youngest Presidents in history, and would arrive in the Oval Office with less executive experience than most of his predecessors. Depending on what your leanings are, you could compare his work history - lawyer, state legislator, Washington short-timer, orator - to Abraham Lincoln's, or to a thousand forgotten figures in politicalgraveyard.com.

...opened in 1941. But the resemblance of Charles Foster Kane to publisher William Randolph Hearst cued a campaign to suppress the movie, and Kane flopped in its initial release. In addition, many in the industry rankled at Welles' boy-genius rep and may have resented the freedom this first-timer was given by his studio, RKO. Under these circumstances, it's probably a miracle that the film received nine Oscar nominations, including three for Welles as actor, director and co-screenwriter. In the end, it won only for the screenplay, and John Ford's How Green Was My Valley took...
