Hi, this same man was an accomplished Civil War general, paid Pat Garrett to kill Billy the Kid, and wrote a novel that became one of the best Oscar movies of all time. Does anyone know this man's name?

This was a challenge question a few months back, interestingly enough. THe film was Ben Hur in case you wanted to know. Jul 24 02, 11:43 AM

His early biographer (better-known as an expert on fishing) claimed that this man was quite a rake in his youth, and an unusual portrait that is now the subject of a frantic fundraising campaign seems to confirm the description. Today, most people know him best as the author of a famous quotation, which inspired the title of an important novel. Who was he, what is the quotation, and who wrote the novel? Does anyone know of an American who served in The Korean War, The Vietnam War, and the Gulf War? A word or phrase that is the same thing in either direction is called an palindrome, for example: "RADAR". You see it's the same word in both directions. Also: Race car. The longest one I know is: A man a plan a canal panama. Does anyone know of a longer one? There's this Australian ad on TV for Lynx deodorant with a man in an elevator attracting a businesswoman with his scent - does anyone know the name of the song in the background?
