Kilgore (Robert Duvall’s character), in, of course, _Apocalypse Now_ Were you the (fictional) senior sergeant of the 20th Maine? - Close enough; it was Buster Kilrain According to _Doonesbury,_ was your life saved when your surgeon remembered the Hippocratic Oath? - Yes, Dr. Henry Kissinger DQ: American? IQs: Did Joseph Cotten play your eventually-disillusioned best friend? Were you Princess Ardala’s henchman? Were you First Officer of the USCSS _Nostromo_? ---

I can name five: JFK, Lenny Thom (his XO), Kirksey and Marney (the two who were killed in the collision), and McMahon (the one who was burned so badly that Kennedy had to tow him to the beach). ---

Thanks. I knew in general terms what had happened to the crew, but couldn’t have named anyone other than their skipper - who was later, I think, to achieve some small measure of political fame.

Two DQs reserved. IQs: Were you a son of Theodore Roosevelt’s? Were you unflatteringly compared to Pam Poovey on _Archer_? Were you host of a TV show in the movie _My Favorite Year_? ---
