Coming soon: A look at the Duke

John Wayne's 100th birthday rolls around later this month, and The Rascal will mark the occasion with an examination of the Duke's place in the pantheon of conservative Republican heroes.

This special feature likely will appear here within the next week or 10 days so as to gain a jump on the orgy of Duke tributes we'll see in the mainstream media on his centennial on May 26.

So, check back, Pilgrim.
