"[L]et a crown be placed thereon, by which the world may know, that so far as we approve of monarchy, that in America the law is king. For as in absolute governments the King is law, so in free countries the law ought to be king; and there ought to be no other." --Thomas Paine, 1776

Ali should make the list. Huey Long should be higher. I didn't see D.W. Griffith, but I was skimming. Ellington instead of Armstrong, maybe. And Nixon should be higher than LBJ. List is good, for the most part, but tilted toward "popular" choices of people who we like. Equally, if not more interesting would be list of top 100 americans that most americans don't know.
