1. Unfortunately, Admiral James Stockdale was unavailable for comment.

3. I respected him.

I didn't agree with his politics, but I respected how he held up with dignity during such a long imprisonment as a POW.

[The Wizard]

2. Did Clint deliberately

8. "white uneducated" guy

who admires a black heroin addict (who could play sax) so much that he made a movie about him.

6. Wasn't Clint. They invited the man on the left (pic) but ...
