Thanks! Fun round. Yes, I’ll start a November thread soon.

So the big run was in 1954, huh? I would’ve thought it was before, oh, 1948 or so.

Other previous IQs:

Was your voting address, for awhile, a basement apartment in a Plains state? - Bob Dole, who claimed an apartment in Russell, Kansas for that purpose before his big loss in 1996.  
Was your voting address, for awhile, a hotel room south of the Mason-Dixon Line? - George H.W. Bush, who used a Houston hotel room before his 1988 election to the Presidency.

P.S. I’m still rather annoyed that Roger Bannister didn’t light the torch at the London Olympics.
