They were the best.
One of my favorite movie quotes comes from Ouiser, when she was looking at the cut-up armadillo cake:

I LOVE that term. El Nino means less hurricanes.

You can go back to the days of radio with shows like "Gangbusters" and "Mr. District Attorney" who were after mobsters and bootleggers during prohibition.

The damn thing suffocates itself under its own weight. It needs to provide a broad framework of government, and not include specific provisions. There should not be a need to have a dozen amendments to it every ...

My understanding is that, for the most part, it was fairly accurate. I believe the timeline of some events were condensed, some events simplified, and maybe some individual characters (lesser historically) were a composite of two or more people. For the most part, it's good. ...
