In July of 1959 there was an off the cuff debate between two leaders about the perceived industrial strengths of the Soviet Union and the United States at an American products exposition in Moscow. I bring this up not because I am obsessed with cold war political history, but because one of the participants in that debate is predominant in the movie ‘Watchmen’ which is based on the iconic graphic novel that opens this week. Can you name this American politician? Can you give me the moniker attributed to this impromptu debate? Can you tell me if you plan to see ‘Watchmen’ on Friday? I want to know all of these things so please let me know.
Either my question last week about the crazy baseball play was too cryptic, or no one is that interested in the Chicago Cubs or games in which there is more than one baseball on the field. But through a series of errors and misjudgments not one but two balls were in play at the same time and the extra ball was used by the Cubs to get a player from the opposite team out. The play was contested but since the Cubs lost the game anyway, it was not a big deal and the event was consigned to realm of obscure trivia.
Thanks to everyone who tried!
