Correct.

Johnson was Lincoln’s vice president and took over when Abe was assassinated.

[Spoiler]4. TITANIC and TRAFFIC are two. I’m assuming the third doesn’t end with C. Am I correct? On preview, I see I was, as **yevgeny** came up with TOOTSIE.

1. **yevgeny** gave three valid answers, but I’ll add BARBER, whom I thought of before WAGNER popped into mind.[/spoiler]

Correct.

I figured it would be an easier one, but I’m just glad I was finally able to create one of these.

Don’t think I have ever had the second on my hot dog, actually. Should try it some time.
