It's FRANCIS BRADLEY, not Andrew. My fault for trying to multitask.

I think the time has come where research is not cheating.

15. While Victoria was still on the throne, this English writer helped lead the charge against Victorianism with a satirical utopian novel and a cynical, semi-autobiographical bildungsroman.

Samuel Butler?

29. This American scientist became embroiled in several nasty disputes, claiming retroactive priority over discoveries and inventions made by – among others – Samuel F.B. Morse and William T.G. Morton.

Charles Thomas Jackson

43. A leading figure in the transition from Federal architecture to Greek Revival, he designed many New England homes and also authored the first American pattern books, such as 1830’s Practical House Carpenter.

Asher Benjamin

65. Considered by Milton Friedman to be America’s greatest economist, he played a major role in developing the quantity theory of money, but his reputation did suffer major damage when he declared that the stock market had reached a “permanently high plateau” – in 1929.

Irving Fisher

72. This Victorian illustrator and caricaturist helped create our images of what Fagin, Bill Sikes, and Mr. Bumble look like.

Robert Seymour?

76. In addition to building the first American steam locomotive and operating the first U.S. ferry service, this inventor also played a major role in establishing U.S. patent law.

John Jervis??

87. In 1953, this political theorist published a book that played a large role in shaping the modern American conservative movement; toward the end of his life, he became a vocal critic of Republican militarism and U.S. involvement in the Gulf War.

Russell Kirk

94. This crime lord once said, “I wanted to be rich. I wanted to be Donald Trump rich, and so help me God, I made it" – but, despite some claims, he probably didn’t make it by smuggling drugs in the coffins of dead American soldiers.

91. This poet was the 17th successor to the poet in Clue #5, but he became a dirty word to some who blamed him for the death of another poet.

I was pretty sure this was TED HUGHES (husband of Sylvia Plath), but I had to count the Poets Laureate to make sure that he was indeed #18 in the chronological list.

They are never all real people, as you can tell by the presence of several fictional characters on the list.

We've already matched Johnny Crawford (who played Connors' son) with Rifleman, so this may be moot.

Or not.

Well, I was wrong. It IS possible to create a legitimate triple. And, in fact, three of the four constructed names in that triple are right. But I guess I can't keep track of every mayor in the country. Sorry.

First black mayor of the fourth largest city in the U.S., home to several BBs. But this game is still a work of genius.

I see that Lee Wallace played mayors in several films, so 27. Henry Wallace could be the third name.

Weird, because if Lee Brown is wrong and the other three are right, that means the replacement should be Lee Chandler. The only prominent Lee Chandler I'm finding is Casey Affleck's character in Manchester by the Sea. But I'm not finding an associated word that matches very well. It doesn't help that I've not seen the film.

The Henry who slots in here reflects a bias toward one of my major interests. And the mayor that you will eventually find may also reflect a geographic bias toward an even bigger city.
