Both correct.

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

[QUOTE=Zsofia]
1012. Nixon
1016. FDR
[/QUOTE]

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

[QUOTE=Elendil’s Heir]
1023. ONI
[/QUOTE]

  1. Office of Naval Intelligence
  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

Oops! You’re right. Sorry about that.

Bingo!

Bureau of Prisons?

    [/QUOTE]

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).
