[QUOTE=Maus Magill] 1. May have been set in the early thirties, but it was during Prohibition, so I think it counts. [/QUOTE] I thought about that, and balked. Capone was convicted of tax evasion in 1931, and they talk about repealing Prohibition, so I think it is in the 30’s. But given the number of matches, I should have gone with it anyway. ---

We’re up to 35. I said 3:30, but I’ve been real busy and they still want me to get some work out, dammit! So I will forward my spreadsheet to my home email, and finish the scoring later. (If my husband gets home before I do, we’ll have to fight over the 'puter! :D) ---
