If not Greene, take a DQ. I’m sorry, I meant that as a Direct Question, based on stumping you over either Gatotkatcha or Garuda. There are a few possibilities in the ranks of resistance fighters or collaborators, but perhaps you were too young or too old to be a participant. ---

There are a few possibilities in the ranks of resistance fighters or collaborators, but perhaps you were too young or too old to be a participant. Sorry, missed that. (Drat.) But as you see, the answer is No. Clemenceau died in 1929. ---

Dang it! Just missed it on timing. I’m claiming partial credit for myself. 😉 That’s okay, not sure I’m ready to lead this game yet anyway. I can’t believe I’ve missed this game over the years. It’s a lot of fun! ---

Well done, etv78 and Zakalwe! I was close; I was thinking it might have been Georges Pompidou! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/august-botticelli/665072.md?page=8)
