Reading Frost/Nixon, book on David Frost's interview with Nixon in 1977. He acts like a torturer extracting a confessional from a prisoner (he is more or less) and covers his methods of getting the footage he wants from the man. There are a number of anecdotes related to funding the venture and the one that stood out to me was Frost recounting how the then-unknown Weed-Eater Co. of Houston purchased a large amount of advertising slots, which suggests that the interview may have popularized the term and the product nationwide.
