Never held elective office 10. Died prior to 1864 \*I had to modify 5 as in reading about our guest I found an offhand mention of a work of his art currently on display. I don’t know if it’s being displayed on its merits or merely as a curiosity of a work by someone otherwise famous, but I’ll mention it in passing. ---

> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > Did Murphy Brown stay at a place named after you? > Did you give a speech in front of a giant poster of yourself? > Did Churchill mock your name? I didn’t know the answer to 1, and I’m not aware of a really good way of ensuring that our guest doesn’t fall under that broad question, but his name doesn’t appear in either the Murphy Brown article or the list of episodes with summaries. Oh, and now I know the intended answer, retroactively, hehe. DQ. I’m not Charles Foster Kane, and DQ. ---
