During his 46-year career, Huston received 15 Oscar nominations, winning twice, and directed both his father, Walter Huston, and daughter, Anjelica Huston, to Oscar wins.

  Espeak shell command is often faster then using Festival Speech. This function may be used to quickly produce some speach. Global variables such as `*espeak-amplitude*` and `*espeak-voice*` can help you set it up for your own language and volume.

1. Emacs Lisp: read-from-buffer versus read-from-minibuffer, returns string from editing
  
  from GNU Support
  
  As I am often editing database fields, and such fields could represent Org Mode or Markdown documents, this function is handy to quickly edit the string and return it back. It has no version control, thus I must take care what I am doing and how I am editing the string. As if something is lost, is lost forever. Unlike the read-from-minibuffer function, this one will open full editing buffer. If I switch the mode I have to use C-M-c option to return back.
