14..Oodles of you know how Thor sent a thunderbolt, which, of course, led to the Manhattan Project, cause we wuzznt gonna be outdone by no god.

15..You could put all my children in a general hospital, but there's no cure without a Guiding Light.

16..K9 might know this, if she were front and center this go-round. As a hint, think The Number 1 Ladies Detective Agency.

17..Pinot's Quartet is ready for the Beatlemania stage, just as soon as the Gampel leaks get bigger.

18..Ed4, husky & knights cite Mrs. Ike.

19..I don't know why we even need her husband here. Oh, and ed4 knew it too, without Mrs. SVC' aid.

20..Right, only kids under 7 who know script are eligible. Oh, you mean adults who write like children.
Again I don't know why we even need her husband here.

21..And here I thought baseball was declining in interest...or maybe you stop with prehistoric pitchers.

22..An argument for Arthur to be highlighted for a watershed year is solid. While he was known earlier for David Cup successes, he was the first African American to have that honor. Then he won the '68 US championship as a first too.
Now a grander scale would look, as Game does, as the year tennis became Open. But we need someone to explain what that means.

24..Cajun's sextet consults the Oracle. It won't promise a mild winter for Storrs. "Drat", they say.

I will be pleased to read your results in 15 & 22.
