I would hope I'm enough in command of my faculties to NOT mean Don M, but I've made goofs before.

14..Rbny, geordi & Ine all made it to the life rafts, after kicking aside the women and children.

15..JC & VAUC, though with 2 left feet themselves, recognize Fred.

16..Yeah, lots of fans did not appreciate electric guitars at the folk festival. Thanks to Dish here.

17..Parsifal works, so JC, Ine & geordi do too.

18..No, not the War Dept, but the National Military Establishment, however briefly, under Truman.

Just 3 went astray, good for a B+.
