Teenage stepdaughter saw Field of Dreams for the first time a while back, she thought it was great.

I’m a very big James Earl Jones fan.

From the Sandlot, one of my faves, but not one of his bigger roles.

Mr. Mertle: I take it back. You’re not in trouble, you’re dead where you stand.

The Insurrectionist by Peter Adams has similar content but differs some in details. The story about Robert Kennedy arresting Oswald was near the end of his life and nothing said during that era. I found the handbills printed prior to Kennedy’s visit interesting too.
In particular I do have a question about the time interval General Walker maintained a physical presence during the Little Rock School Crisis event. That book says he was there until a few days after MLK attended the first graduation. Google searches and questions poised seem to have voided out his presence a few weeks after the crisis started. I’m still looking for details. Also I was curious as to whether or not the General was in direct charge of the ground based nuclear weapons system—The M28 or M29 Davy Crockett Weapon System.
Thanks for the link. Mr. Adams did have a video presentation also if you care to look.

The campaign complemented its print ads and billboards with television spots. 
The most memorable ads from this campaign featured Trinidadian dancer and actor Geoffrey Holder 
explaining the difference between ugly, dry, kola nuts and the tangy, juicy lemon and limes that flavor 7-Up.

I could listen to him reading the phonebook.
