Simon Newton Dexter was the brother-in-law of B. Raymond.
It is frequently said that "all BWRs were railroad grade at the time they were made", however I think there were a few exceptions to this.

 The doctor is in again, thanks to DVD Chicago Sun-Times - Find Articles
Deadpan Dr. Katz constantly was trying to motivate his 24-year-old live-in son Ben (H. Jon Benjamin) to do something other than eat cereal and phone girls he hadn't seen since fourth grade.
For a fan of "Katz" (one of my favorite five shows of all time), the extra thrill of the DVD is listening to the funny commentary tracks of Katz, Benjamin and co-creator Tom Snyder (not the talk show host), who say each episode was essentially improvised around an outline of plot points.
It was such a small production, Benjamin -- who was also briefly working as a "stacker" at a library, while living with the real- life Laura -- was asked to help animate the show once.

 Tom Holder, Family History, Hiram B. Granbury
Norval Granberry was especially displeased and it was his decision as well as the acting board of the State Convention to sever their ties with the American Baptist Home Missionary Society and to realign with the Southern Baptist Convention recently established in Marion, Alabama.
Hiram B. Granbury would return to Raymond, Mississippi in May of 1863 not as a casual visitor but as Colonel of the 7th Texas Infantry Regiment, Gregg's Brigade.
Granbury's connection to Raymond is significant because it meant that during the battle of Raymond he was defending the home of his youth and the honor of the Granberry families still living in the area.

 ENG 230 Handouts for All Course Films
But The Big Sleep was and is more than fodder for trivial Hollywood gossip, as it coalesces many of the most famous components of film noir mysteries into an archetypal tale where the style of the convoluted narrative is much more engaging than the plot’s actual resolution and denouement.
Also, The Big Sleep melds the writing talents of Raymond Chandler (famous with Dashiell Hammett for shaping the tone of harboiled crime thrillers and their cinematic film noir counterparts) with William Faulkner, a Pulitzer Prize-winning Southern novelist who subsidized his income by writing Hollywood scripts.
Some of the techniques Citizen Kane is famous for are its use of deep focus, layered sound montage, lap dissolves, ceilinged sets (coupled with extreme low angle shots), high contrast lighting, unique montage editing to illustrate the passage of time, and its flashback-centered narrative.

 The American Apologists
The "American Apologists" is the only term we could come up to describe late 19th Century and early 20th Century American arch-conservative economists and social scientists.
Although there had been earlier American economists of considerable reputation, such as Henry C. Carey and Daniel Raymond, a distinctive American economics only really came into "being" in the 1870s with the work of Francis A. Walker.
For the next forty years or so, the American economics scene was dominated by an "orthodoxy" which followed on the heels of Walker.
