But...I think a few will find them interesting.<BR/><BR/>W. J. Bryan is a very interesting person. You are pretty much right about how the religious right might view if they really studied him more. <BR/><BR/>Every time I read his "Cross of Gold" speech I still get chills. What it must have been like to hear him actually give that speech! It's a shame we no longer have the great orators like they had way back when.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13164600370556584463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-21560926618287759232007-09-27T20:23:00.000-04:002007-09-27T20:23:00.000-04:00Sounds like a day at the office. ;)I will definite...Sounds like a day at the office. ;)<BR/><BR/>I will definitely check out the first book.

Shame. :) Sounds like a good read. I used to love Grisham, but when he started writing for movies I lost interest. I tried to read <I>Innocent Man</I> for Southern Reading Challenge but after putting it down to start another I never picked it up again. His first books are pretty good, the rest, not so much...but that is jmho.

The woman he speaks of at temple square wearing a large cross may not have been Mormon--but I assumed she was. As for jewelry, a CTR (choose the right) emblem would be more likely worn. I can't wait till the movie--it sounds like fun. Does Martin have a role in writing the screen play?<BR/><BR/>Collen, that's for stopping by.

I will tell Martin to check out your reviews and corrections....he needed you to edit beforehand! I wonder if anyone else noticed the Mormon's and crosses. I had no idea myself. <BR/><BR/>This is a very popular book. I am always surprised by just how much fan mail he gets on this one...people like crazy I guess! The screenplay is supposed to be really good for this one and I am crossing my fingers that a movie will be made!
