	New Georgia Encyclopedia: Grier's Almanac
		Robert Grier (1780-1848), an amateur astronomer, made his astronomical calculations for the publication, originally known as the Georgia and South-Carolina Almanak, on the plantation property of his father, Aaron W. Grier Sr., a general in the Revolutionary War (1775-83).
		Captivated by astronomy, Grier was able to predict with consistent accuracy the rising and setting times of the sun, lunar eclipses, and phases of the moon.
		Having served as editor for almost half a century, Thomas P. Ashmore was succeeded in 1882 by his nephew Otis Ashmore, who was the Savannah superintendent of schools as well as an author, educator, and scientist.

		Twelve years later, in 1850, George Grier, a slave belonging to the Reverend Doctor Robert Grier, the President of Erskine College and Seminary, witnessed to the character and purpose of inter-racial devotional gatherings in ARP familes.
		The fact that slaves were involved, and that George Grier’s utterances had, in all probability, raced within hours through local slave quarters, meant that the incident compromised the security of the local white community and that Robert Grier had arguably wronged every white person in the Long Cane neighborhood.
		Grier reminded the Fair committee, first, that the evil of slavery should be obvious to any thinking Christian and, second, that freedom through the grace of God awaited all human beings, even African slaves.

		Grier plays a middle-aged stewardess whose piddling job with Cabo Air, the low-man on the totem pole of the airline industry, is put in jeopardy when she's caught smuggling cash into the country for gun dealer Ordell Roby (Samuel L. Jackson).
		Typical Leonard double-crosses ensue as Grier, with the help of sympathetic bail bondsman Max Cherry (Robert Forster), conspire to outwit Roby and the ATF (led by Michael Keaton as agent Ray Nicolette) and walk away with a million dollars in cash.
		Travolta had at several points in his career been a huge star, but Grier was an actress who, even in her classic films of the 1970s, was never particularly good and Forster, while always a solid character actor, had never risen above the status of B-movies.

		The ruthlessness and savvy she exhibits in the face of her crisis is not connected to her being a career criminal but rather to an understandable need to find security and sanity in her middle age.
		Robert De Niro, Bridget Fonda and Michael Keaton are fine but, casting lesser known actors might have distracted less and supported a stronger illusion of reality.
		The nearly two and half hours lag a little at times, and character is sacrificed somewhat for the purpose of showing the intricacies of the scam Jackie hopes to pull on her predictable but dangerous employer.
