Dead: Billie Sol Estes, and you'd have to be of a certain age to recognize the name, but he was one of the most notorious con men ever, a Texas huckster who ensnared the JFK administration in a scandal involving a federal farm subsidy program that he basically looted. He went to prison, and tried to take LBJ down with him, more than once. (New York Times)
