15..Anwar Sadat and Menachem Begin

16..Spiro Agnew resigned a year or so before Nixon did; I think he was facing tax evasion and possibly other charges. So when Ford became president, he hadn't been elected even as VP.

20..Reduced 33% from 45k to 30k

24..The Division Bell

25..Henry Winkler

Big will announce this as a "tough one".

Nah, I guess I lucked out with this one.

15. Anwar Sadat and Menachem Begin

16. V. P. Spiro Agnew plea bargained his way out of several bribery, extortion, and income tax charges stemming from his days as governor of Maryland. He had to resign as V.P. He was fined and given probation.

18. Adam Smith's WEALTH OF NATIONS; Invisible Hand theory; producers, consumers, and government (A bit of irony: Adam Smith finished his working days in a position enforcing tariffs!)

23.Cleveland and Pittsburgh; Minnesota and Green Bay

17. I saw it years ago and don't remember all the details, but I do remember this much. Judd Hirsch and Christine Lahti are radicals who blew up a research lab in the 1960s and have been on the run ever since, one step ahead of the FBI. They now have two sons, and the older one (played by River Phoenix, if I recall correctly) is now in his late teens and is sick of running from the law. The question: will his parents allow him to go off on his own and lead a normal life. It was directed by the great Sidney Lumet.

14..Yes, it was torpedoed, but only deliberately sunk by ourselves instead of repairing.

15..Bama, with his octet, place the Egyptian and Israeli leaders.

16..The SVC Quintet cite his dastardly acts uncovered by nattering nabobs.

17..Rbny is Running on Full.

18..Don't neglect the workers, lads.

19..The site of our oldest nuclear power plant, just shut down for good.

20..Game has high anxiety, though, along with 3 others, comes through. We will allow him to answer future math questions.

21..All of you have a dreadfully large gap in your knowledge. Hit the books! Max Weber, Karl Marx, Auguste Comte, Emile Durkheim.

22..Still more vacant minds--Hal Ashby, Coming Home, Being There.

23..See Cajun or SVC, who know their NFL but stink at movies and the social sciences.

24..Yes, you are, Meyers, among your many defects, but you recovered. Game and Big also listened into the 80's.

25..VAUC, Dish & Big cherish the Fonz.

On B, you have 3 totally absent and 2 partials. Not your finest hour.
