1. Gotta be David Lean.
2. D.H. Lawrence. (Careful…I’m noticing a trend here… :D)
3. I can see his face but not the slightest clue of his name.

#1 was actually Lowell Thomas.
#2 is correct.
#3 was Leo Gorcey.

2 DQs reserved.

[Johnny_Ace]

Yeah, I thought of Thomas after the fact. However, I think Lean is an equally good answer. Lawrence would be a footnote in history without Lawrence of Arabia.

[Prof.Pepperwinkle]

Okay, I retract the DQ for Lowell, since Lean is a viable alternative.

Happy Firth of Forth of July…just finished watching 1776 for the umpteenth time. Only just realized, after kind of looking at him askance, that Mr. Rutledge of South Carolina was played by a much-younger John Cullum of Northern Exposure fame (and others).

Anyway, to bidness…

1. I’m guessing it’s not Fort Lincoln, but what the hell.
2. Lew Wallace.
3. Alan Dershowitz it ain’t.

So, I bet you now have 4 DQ’s.
