Hmm. Thought this might be Auric Goldfinger, but that would be a British author, and he _was_ the main bad guy. Previous IQs: Was Salieri your nemesis? - Yes, Amadeus. Did you formulate a policy that bore your boss’s name? - John Quincy Adams, as SECSTATE, came up with the Monroe Doctrine. Did a TV show depict you having sex with your husband the moment he got home after a long time away? - Abigail Adams, on the HBO miniseries that bore her husband’s name. Two DQs reserved. What else do we need to know, sportsfans? ---
