14. Fortuitous timing: I just finished reading a review of a newly published biography of Marshall. It says he was the American ambassador to China and tried to mediate the competing claims of the Communists and Nationalists to be the legitimate government. The Communists took over and the Nationalists fled to Taiwan, so I guess the mediation wasn't successful.

14..Rbny notes that the nationalists hightailed to Formosa(Taiwan), and makes the bold assertion that mediation did not work.

15..Pinot mentions Munchies, a derivative of the screaming painter Edvard Munch. His followers WERE called Munchies, no?

16..Then after making the brilliant leap of recognition above, Pinot wants to put the land of Montauk Point and the Hamptons
on the Hudson River. We can't have that. Rbny & VAUC settle for Rockland and Westchester.

17..Knights has Arizona's primary football powers.

18..While I don't get why shades are required to spot a wolf, the bear is correct that it was Arizona.

19..Pinot mentions Uber, a company connecting drivers with riders and paying no fees.

20..VAUC says Calvin Johnson (Detroit Lions) is "my man".

21..It would have been nice, if JC were less a man of few words and added "Stanley" and cited him as "Director" of
those flics, but mentioning Kubrick is correct.

22..JC, along with VAUC, provide "Jumpin' Jack Flash" by the Stones.

23..This is the sort of question geordi and rbny tend to know. (Geordi is among the totally missing this time.)
The Bells Are Ringing was a musical starring Judy Holliday, granddaughter of Doc.

24..Cherokee

25..I am dismayed that not one of you saw fit to mention even one circumstance in the famous Dylan tune.
