The supposed identity of the driver? His initials might rhyme with...

It means getting a TV monopoly in his home state and building a private fortune. It means surrounding himself with companions like Bobby Baker, Billie Sol Estes, Matt McCloskey . . ." At that point, Barry paused; the audience, fully expecting to hear the name of Walter Jenkins, shouted, "And? And? And?" But Barry finished his sentence, ". . . and other interesting...
