Sigh. I’m still in a slump. Ask a DQ.
IQ: Were you considered one of the greatest ever in your field, only to lose your world title by default?
Not Bobby Fischer.
Can’t think of this one- ask a DQ.
Not Abe Fortas
Yep.
No, he was LBJ’s buddy. I was thinking of Fred Vinson, later appointed Chief Justice by Truman.
DQ: Male?
IQ: Were you a much-respected colleague of Edward R. Murrow?
In Beethoven’s only opera, Florestan is a political prisoner of the nobleman Don Pizzaro, held without trial in a secret cell. Florestan’s wife, Leonore, disguises herself as a boy and works at the prison for a couple of years, trying to find her husband and rescue him. The name she takes is also the title of the opera - Fidelio.
DQ: Are you male?
Not Fred Friendly
Yes, male.

Since two people asked my gender, one of you is entitled to another DQ.

DQ, take two: Is ‘F’ the initial of your last name?
IQ: Did your husband play a test pilot?
Not Basil Fawlty

Apart from Green Lantern and the guys in The Right Stuff, I can’t think of any movies about test pilots..
Ask a DQ
Correct!
I’m willing to back down on a DQ if this is thought too cryptic, but I was going for Burger King’s “Have it your way” (not sure if they are using this in the US as well as the UK). The target then becomes obvious - Frank Sinatra (“I did it My Way”). While I wait for a ruling on that, another IQ: Do both you and your best friend have names related to your jobs?
IQ: Are you a significant character in Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? who does NOT appear in Blade Runner?
Not too cryptic- take yur DQ with a clear conscience.
I haven’t read the book in 20+ years. Ask a DQ.
