Is there a Tom Franks besides Gen. Tommy Franks?

Edited on Fri Sep-24-04 04:05 PM by kerryin2004

A man with a Kerry button just came by and referenced a book by Tom Franks and the only person I could think of was Gen. Tommy Franks.. Am I missing someone??

1. Tom Franks ...

wrote "What's the Matter with Kansas". I kept getting confused when I first heard about him, but apparently, he's not the General Tommy Franks. :)

3. His name is Thomas Frank -- no final 's'

and he's the editor of The Baffler and the author of The Conquest of Cool, One Market Under God and What's the Matter with Kansas?
