20. The Long March was the long retreat by the Communist Party’s army. There were several retreats by multiple parts of the army. They were retreating from forces led by Chiang Khai-sheck. Interestingly enough one of the retreating parts of the Communist army was led by Mao Zedong. Apparently he snatched politic victory from this ignominious event.
21. "What Knockers!" "Oh, thank you, doctor." Initially, I thought it has to be Benny Hill! But no, it comes from the mind of Mel Brooks in his movie Young Frankenstein in a scene with Teri Garr and Gene Wilder.
24. Complying with demands of hijackers the West Germans freed 3 Palestinian terrorists who helped kill the Israeli Olympians in Munich. Upon landing in Libya the hijackers of the Lufthansa flight freed the airplane hostages.

Mrs. Game's second guess. She wasn't sure that the reparation therapy had approval that late.
