AMERICANS UNDER THE INFLUENCE: This month's Atlantic tackles the 100 Most Influential Americans, with good old Honest Abe heading the list, followed by George, Tom, and FDR. Alexander Hamilton is the first non-president at 5, while others of interest include Ronald Reagan (17), Walt Disney (26), Einstein (32), Jackie Robinson (35), Bill Gates (54, and one of three living people on the list. A list of the most influential living Americans is here.), Elvis (66), Babe Ruth (75), Hemingway (85), Ralph Nader (96), and Nixon (99).
Among those not making the list--JFK and RFK, Nikola Tesla, George Washington Carver, James Naismith, Bob Dylan, Andrew Jackson, Malcolm X, Robert Johnson, Charles Lindbergh, Enrico Fermi, Philo Farnsworth, Lucille Ball, Ray Kroc, Jackson Pollack, Andy Warhol, Pete Rozelle, Muhammad Ali, Rosa Parks, John Phillips Souza, Aaron Copland, and Marilyn Monroe.
