No, Old Bat. :stuck_out_tongue: It’s shown in the Life Science book The World We Live In as a mound forced uipward in feezing climates, specifically the Canadian tundra. It’s covered with moss and other plants but its core is ice.

That’s a pingo.

Matt, you’re correct. I just now referred to The World We Live In, and it’s “pingo,” all right. :o :o [p. 151, 1956 Special Edition]

  1. Robert’s brother-in-law is the weird guy who works in the comic-book store.

  1. Wilber Mills
  1. Peplum?

Oh, and I think #24 might be Beethoven.

  1. Jackson?
  1. Room Service

I assume you meant #22 (the garment question). For #23, I believe the baserunner was Cincinnati’s Ed Armbrister, who bunted and was called out for interfering with the Boston catcher’s attempt to field the ball.

If the answer to #26 isn’t Mills, it’s that fine son of Ohio, Wayne Hays (but I think he was on the House Administration Committee).

No, not Jackson, although that’s a good guess. (He was struck by the sword of a British officer whose boots he refused to shine.)

I thought of that too, but this was in the 1952 Series, not 1975. :stuck_out_tongue: (For the earlier series there was a widely published photo of the play, with the ball still in flight, not yet in Gil Hodges’ outstretched glove.)

Hays was the House Administration Committee chair. Mills chaired Ways and Means.

Well, after Googling, I see Armbrister did get in Carlton Fisk’s way, but was called safe despite the Red Sox’ appeal of the play. So I missed that one.

  1. Your question could be interpreted in more than one way, but if you are writing of Chopin’s Nocturne Op. 27 No. 2, you might be referring to Lento sostenuto (slow sustained).

Oh, but I have this wonderful suit with a perky little edarmbrister–OK, you’re quite right, I did mean #22. Thanks.
