    Alexander Graham Bell? Just a guess.

    You Brits are such sore winners. If it weren't for General of the Armies John J. "Black Jack" Pershing, you would still be speaking German. But then, there would have been no need for World War II, which, I suppose, would be a good thing. (Pershing would have won the war sooner had it not been for the interference of British and French politicians. The Americans' higher death rate was due to the fact that they attacked the enemy rather than hunkering down in trenches for three years.) Do you hate Eisenhower for the same reason? All animosity aside, it's Red_A's turn to pose a challenge.

    Yes and No.

    I often get a scornful reaction from new acquaintances when I state that "I have four children by my first wife." After a moment for that to soak in, I go on to explain that we are still happily married. It's a good icebreaker.

    Over 24 hours and no guesses...sigh. Not even any pleas for hints. OK. He is considered a hero by Americans and Europeans alike.

    While we await some guesses on Ieshwar's current challenge, here's a follow up to a recent challenge. The Netherlands has a new king: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=by3z_aNbbdo&feature=player_embedded

    Epilogue 2

    MikeL commented on rec's story chapter in Epilogue 2

    Thanks, Rec, for a great ending to a great story...a most satisfactory ending. It is with some foreboding that I noticed where they were having dinner following the concert just two months before it and the World Trade Center were tragically destroyed.

    It was Pep who said he was thinking of an English singer. I never said he was correct. John Francis Bongiovi, Jr. a/k/a Jon Bon Jovi, American musician, singer, songwriter, record producer and actor, is indeed the correct answer. He is far better know as a singer than as an actor. His first film role was in the 1990 movie Young Guns II in which he played the long haired corpse in a coffin. Congratulations W L. You win and you are on the hook for the next challenge.

    You don't have to be beautiful to turn me on. I just need your body, baby, from dusk till dawn. You don't need experience to turn me out. You just leave it all up to me, I'm gonna show you what it's all about. Is that the song you have in mind? Who is the English singer? A name is required to know if you are correct.

    Welcome, Wilde-man. Look forward to reading your novel.

    It's like 100% wrong. Sorry, Ieshwar. I'm trying to come up with a clue that both helpful and not a dead giveaway. How about this? He is more famous now than when the picture was taken. No? Hmmm. OK. Here goes. The name by which he is known today is an Anglicized version of his real name.
