    Ford?
1466

No, sorry.

(I didn’t think the question would be that hard).

1467
  1. Then let’s go for the obvious, Cherokee.
1468

That’s right!

(I can’t be devious and underhanded all of the time).

Milton Friedman

1472
  1. What rival candidate dubbed Reagan’s supply-side theories “voodoo economics”?
    George Bush peres
1473

Both correct.

RNATB is also right about Friedman, and 5 time champ has got Bush.

1474

Both correct. 5 time champ is incorrect as to King Timahoe.

Danimal, I already guessed Cherokee as to question 1011, back in post 1462. (Before 5 time champ, dammit :mad: :wink: ).

Here’s another guess:
1019. “Farmers should raise less corn and more hell!”

More Federal alphabet soup - give the full names of these agencies:

  1. RTC
  2. ONI
  3. BOP
  4. OSHA
  5. AID
1475
  1. Occupational Safety & Health Administration
1476

Ford.

(Proof that you can learn stuff from Chevy Chase on Saturday Night Live)

1477
  1. Office of Naval Intelligence
1478

  1. RTC
    Resolution Trust Corporation, bailed out the S & L’s in the 1980s- will we be seeing a similar organization soon?

  2. AID
    Agency for International Development, Kennedy era agency for foreign aid

1479

Oops! You’re right. Sorry about that.

Bingo!

Bureau of Prisons?

1480

Both correct (RTC is now defunct, I believe, but we might very well see something like it to tackle the home mortgage crisis; AID is still a component of the State Department).

Danimal is right about the BOP, which is part of the Justice Department (or is it in Homeland Security now? Nah, I don’t think so).
