[rbny1]

24. Delhi. In fact, India came off especially poorly with many cities on the list. Surprisingly, Beijing wasn't even in the top 20 among the most polluted cities in the world.

 

[TXs N Os]

20. George Will was critical of some things that O'Reilly wrote in a book about Ronald Reagan. O'Reilly then had Will as a guest on his television show and O'Reilly lost his cool and basically challenged Will's honesty and abilities as a writer/commentator.

[johnnyc]

21. Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology) - Marvin Gaye

 

[geordi]

23. He murdered James Butler Hickcock. Wild Bill never liked sitting with his back to the door. Now we know why?

 

[hoopingcrane]

18..Argentina.

23.."Hoop's OK"- apparently not that okay because I forgot to say he shot Wild Bill Hitchcock, sitting there with Aces and eights.

22..To stay true to logic, it must be pointed out that Dot was born first, leaving the 2nd to be the same as the first, i.e. "Ditto".

23..Hoop and geordi work it out.

24..Rbny acknowledges there's coughing and choking all around India.

25..JC & hoop place him at the front of the Family Stone.

On part B, I take a little off on the "Ditto", but that's a whole lot better
than you eked out on A. There I grant you 10 & 1/3.
