Previous IQs: Was Richard Lugar partly to blame for your husband’s losing office? - Yes, Imelda Marcos (the Republican senator recommended that the Reagan Administration not prop up the Filipino strongman Ferdinand Marcos once widespread popular demonstrations began against him). Did your creator, as a babe in arms, allegedly meet the VIP after whom he was named? - Ichabod Crane was created by Washington Irving, supposedly introduced by his nanny to George Washington on an NYC street. Were you the young servant of Miss Trixie Delight? - Yes, Imogene, in _Paper Moon_ (I am damn impressed you knew that!). DQ: Died since 1950? IQs: Did you write of the interrogation technique of the Hard Man and the Soft Man? Did you write, “Come, let us reason together”? Were you sued for sexual harrassment while heading Madison Square Garden? ---

> [@Some\_Call\_Me.Tim](#): > > IQ1: Did Tom write a satirical song about you? > IQ2: Did you devote much of your life to alchemy? > IQ3: Were you fatally wounded while underwater? Tom Lehrer wrote of Nicholai Ivanovich Lobachevsky… though, as I understand it, he chose him more for the way his name sounded than for any actual tendency to plagiarize. Correct on Newton and Irwin. DQ: Born before 1700? Holding one DQ. ---
