Odds and Ends
That's before our time: No one knew the legendary "Playhouse 90" production about ill-fated boxer Mountain McClintock is "Requiem for a Heavyweight".
This day in shilling: Just in case you weren't aware of these products from their ubiquitous advertising, they gave us a category devoted to fast food items.
Ken's Korner: He refers to the police as "smokies" and does a rather tenuous impression of Jimmy Carter.
One more thing: A clue stated that what one does when seeing a VW Beetle is "punch buggy". I've always heard it called "slug bug".
Correct Qs: DD1 - What is Victoria Falls?DD2 - What is "The X-Files"? DD3 - What is Valley Forge? FJ - What is the Oscar (Academy Award)?
