  1. Yes, not both.* *Zombie is out of pocket for a few days and delegated me to respond and provide clues.
  2. It's amazing how little errors get by the editors and beta readers of a story. This one escaped notice for eighteen months after publication. I think we all read what we expect to be there. Congratulations and thanks, Albert.
  3. I have never, ever worn a belted sweater in my life, not even in the 1970s. And I have never been photographed wearing only socks. Where did you ever get such an idea?
  4. Mean girls are everywhere. The only surprise to me is that she restrained herself long enough to get elected chapter president. If her sisters knew how mean she was but elected her chapter president in spite of that, her characterizations of them are pretty accurate.
  5. Wouldn't have been considered dorky in the 1970s.
  6. Slytherin wins! The young man on the right is Prince Constantijn Christof Frederik Aschwin of the Netherlands. On the left is his oldest brother, Willem-Alexander Claus George Ferdinand, Prince of Orange, who will become King on April 30 when his mother, Queen Beatrix abdicates. At his birth in 1967, Willem-Alexander was the first male heir to the throne born in 116 years. He and his wife, Maxima, have three daughters. Figures. Recent picture of the Prince of Orange. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Zombie goes next.
  7. Thank you. A prince? I think you are onto something. We would need much more information to declare a winner...name, country, current significance. OK. One more generous clue...the picture was taken in 1982.
  8. Don't think he's made a movie. It's certainly not what he is noted for.
  9. Middelfart, Denmark
  10. Happy Birthday, Yang!
  11. Their name is not Harbaugh, but Podga gets points for participation.
  12. They are brothers. Not equally famous...not technically...my opinion.
  13. OK. Who are these people?
  14. OK...long enough I guess. I believe the picture is none other than Mario Andretti, Italian American world champion racing driver. I'll let Podga have the final word.
  15. Poor Pavel! Another hour and twenty minutes will only be one day.
  16. Let's give it at least 24 hours from the time Podga posted the picture. Maybe another hint: Italian/American. How many millions are there? We need some guesses.
  17. Reliance on one industry is a significant risk for any city. Detroit was built on automobiles and is being destroyed by the same industry's demise. American auto makers lost their monopoly in the American market and foreign manufacturers moved in, building plants in the right to work states in the South. That's ironic since much of the work force in Detroit following World War II came from the South. The sons and grandsons of those people have now come back home.
  18. Interesting idea, Benji. In the midst of all the action, I hadn't thought much about Frank's little phone call. He could be responsible for wiping out the remnants of Bridget's little world.
  19. It has been a great ride. C J has spent a lot of time researching and writing during this voyage which has lasted more than three years. An actual circumnavigation would take less time.
  20. Compare this from chapter 48: . With this from chapter 155: The author has tied two different scenes together with similar wording...but different outcomes.
