6. The Roman senate told Julius Caesar to stay away from Rome and not to cross the Rubicon River with his army. He did anyway, starting a civil war.

[meyers7]

2. Early 60's, around when I was born. 62, 63?? We have the lowest ZIP code (of towns/cities) 01001.
4. Ltd, like in Great Britain?
5. Bruce Lee
10. Taylor? He was around the 1850's

 

[Zorro]

4..Ltd


6..Don't cross the Rubicon.

10. Franklin Pierce.

 

[geordi]

2. guess here - around 1964???
3. didn't he have a real bomb in the movies around that time???
4. Ltd. - just like in England
6. Do not cross the Rubicon - he did anyway
7. Pierce or Fillmore ???? How about Fillmore

 

[KnightBridgeAZ]

10. I'll go with Filmore. The trick is obviously that Pierce took office in early March of 1853. But he was elected in November, same as now. Still, for Perry to get there, etc. I'll stick to Millard.

 

[VAUConnFan]

4. Ltd
10. James Buchanan

1..Like Meatloaf said, 2 out of 3 ain't bad, and that's what rob has. Throw out Chad.

3..It was an on-air physical injury.

7.. Involving the George H. W. Bush ship.

8..A city

9..She was a working girl, North of England way.
Now she's hit the big time in the USA.

11..I'll get you started--Anger is one of the 7 Deadly Sins.

12..Has fame for sitting for which Impressionist?

 

[rbny1]

12. Based on your hint, Van Gogh painted a famous portrait of Dr. Gachet, so I'm guessing that Marguerite is Dr. Gachet's wife or daughter and Van Gogh painted her as well.
