HISTORY: Whacking The Duke
I'm still not sure what to make of the story that Josef Stalin wanted John Wayne killed. MSNBC can't seem to decide, though, whether this comes from a bio of Stalin or of the Duke.
Seems to me that there would have been few more sure-fire ways to ignite World War III in the early fifties than assassinating the Duke.
God almighty, people would've been angry...
