**SunUp** had asked, “Known for business or science/technology?” Does your answer #9 mean he _is_ known for business? Previous IQs: Were you a top Clinton White House aide who worked most notably on healthcare reform? - Ira Magaziner Did you command The Citadel after WWII? - Gen. Mark Clark Were you the jittery, driven young producer of _FYI_? - Miles Silverberg, on _Murphy Brown_ DQs: Black? Has a famous spouse? Three DQs reserved. IQs: Did you play the last U.S. serviceman executed for desertion? Are you the young protagonist of _The Phantom Tollbooth_? Is it possible that your best-known work is actually a political satire? ---
