I'm noticing that a few of the names in List B have the same first letter in their first & last names (Farrah Fawcett, Steve Stevens, Mitch McConnell, etc.). Could this be a clue to the Tangredi?

I looked up some answers for Part B just to get this game going again.

B-15. His discoveries in the field of immunology led him to become the first Belgian to win the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

JULES BORDET

B-18. He delivered the last line – which was also the title – of a popular 1960s all-star comedy. (No, not that popular 1960s all-star comedy … though he appeared in that one as well.)

BEN BLUE

B-19. This Nobel laureate was a key figure in the Trümmerliteratur ("rubble literature") movement that arose in postwar Germany.

HEINRICH BOLL

B-25. This jurist – the first Supreme Court Justice to hire a law clerk – was succeeded on the bench by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

HORACE GREY

B-45. A hero of the Franco-PrussianWar, he became known as General Revanche for his extreme nationalism and desire to avenge France’s defeat.

GEORGES ERNEST BOULANGER

B-46. This philosopher posited a system of three worlds in which World One was the physical world, World Two was the world of the mind, and World Three was the body of human knowledge.

KARL POPPER

B-55. A member of the Will Eisner Award Hall of Fame, this underground cartoonist is best known for his creation of a hedonistic wizard whose mystical hat covers his entire body down to his legs.

VAUGHN BODE

B-71. This architect’s work included the triumphal arch in Washington Square Park, the Boston Public Library, and an arena that was demolished in 1925.

STANFORD WHITE

B-77. This boxer, who took his ring name from a fast-firing weapon, held the World Light Heavyweight title for two years in the early 1950s.

JOEY MAXIM

B-80. The last words of this war criminal– convicted at Nuremberg for coordinating slave labor for the Third Reich – were, “I die an innocent man, my sentence is unjust. God protect Germany! May it live and one day become great again! God protect my family."

FRITZ SAUCKEL

B-89. Though he spent much of his career painting dogs and horses, this Victorian artist also created the lion sculptures in Trafalgar Square.

I think I finally came up with something that was too hard to find. Should I give a bigger hint - such as giving you one correct match and letting you work from there - or just throw in the towel?

Sorry this one was so hard.

Could you give us a clue to the other wrong answer (besides Garibaldi)? I looked and looked but can't find it.

B-76 is still wrong. Oort fulfills half of the requirements of the clue, but someone else fits both.

So many weird names in this game. This one might actually take the cake, but I still can't make anything out of it...

I will offer this advice. Forget the songs for the moment. Try to see what people might be paired together and work the songs in later.

I hate to say this ... but one name that was added since the last consolidation is wrong. (It wasn't suggested as a definite anyway.) Let's not worry about that right now.

Ditto.

I suspect it's one of those things that, once we FIND it, we will do fairly well.

But, until then, I have the same dilemma as Krox. And I was looking for something for Garibaldi...

Anyone? I suspect there's some kind of word/letter play here since the names in the latter match in particular are not noteworthy... but I'm not seeing it.

Wow. Trying to finalize my dissertation proposal, advocating for teachers in a very messy contract negotiation, and just trying to live life has kept me mostly away.

I still don't have a surefire connection, but I might be able to jar some things loose.

Heinrich Boll was a frenemy and contemporary of Gunter Grass, which would match up well with Alex Grass, I guess. Gunter's only work familiar to me is The Tin Drum. So I don't really see any connection to any of the songs or artists.

Nebuchadnezzar is the name of an opera by Giuseppe Verdi, but I don't see any connection to Aida, or Rigoletto, or La Traviata in the song list.

I thought maybe the "missing name" might be anagrammed in the song list somewhere, but I don't see any anagram of Gunter or Verdi there.

I'll keep thinking.

Along these lines, Phineas Fogg is a creation of Jules Verne (Jules Bordet). Mozart could go with Franz Liszt (Franz Boas). Max Born matches Wolfgang Pauli (Wolfgang Mozart). Jack Ruby killed Lee Oswald (F. Lee Bailey). John D. Rockefeller, Jr. goes with Cornelius Vanderbilt (Amy Vanderbilt). Farrah Fawcett was married to Lee Majors (F. Lee Bailey). George W. Bush ran against Al Gore (Gore Vidal).

B-100 Alexander Graham Bell competed with B-25 (Horace) Elisha Gray for the title of inventor of the telephone

B-97 Amos Alonzo Stagg and B-50 (Charles Dudley) Pop Warner were legendary college football coaches

There's almost certainly something there, but I haven't found a way to connect it to the songs/artists yet.

Gunter = Urgent, a song by Foreigner

Verne = Never, a song by Heart

Sorry, I don't have time to write this up better right now. I'll try to come back and fix it later. But that's it.
