“It’s funny — that’s the first time it’s ever come to my mind,” said Redford, 74, smiling at the thought. [More]
But who am I to question the more enlightened? After all, when he talks about his new Lincoln assassination movie, he tells us it "is a story that very few, if any, know..."

About those restaurants...
ReplyDeleteLuby's Cafeteria, Killeen, Texas. George Hennard, madman and executioner. "No guns in bars," even if you're not drinking. They'll "put your face in the pavement."
