Sorry I have not been able to play more, as I have had an exam. But the Reich is probably Wilhelm Reich, who among other strange things tried to study if electricity was released at the point of ORGASM.

Forgot about Alfred Eisenstaedt, so I'm assuming #11 is David Ricardo. The Robert is Robert Peel, namesake of the London Bobby. Hawthorne - Hahn = John Tower, Texas

There must be several wrong answers, because I'm not seeing enough anagram possibilities:

WALLENBURG - BELL = GRUWAN? WURGAN?
BRUNELLESCHI - BELL = URSCHEIN? NIESCHUR?

Are you 100% sure of the spelling on these?

The musician has to be Bob Seger, since Heisenberg minus Seger plus archangel Michael gives us Michael Biehn, who was in ALIENS.

Wallenburg is Wallenberg.

Well, BRUNELLESCHI must be spelled right. I say this because the sex researcher must be Havelock ELLIS (Frank, why am I getting the sex researcher questions? This is the second today). Anyway, probably the most famous play by Georg Buchner is DANTON's Death. So, BRUNELLESCHI - ELLIS + GEORG Hegel gives us Georg Buchner.

Anyone named Paris who was a famous activist, or a Benedictine monk? Cuz the Lamont has got to be Lina Lamont from Singin in the Rain. And she was played by Jean Hagen. Jean Nidetch plus Parseghian - "Paris" gives us Hagen.

Off to party, later.

Oh thought of one more. Paul Green was a playwright, wrote Johnny Johnson - and Abraham's BOSOM. So the Ehrlich goes there to give us the Green.

Richard Wagner wrote "Gotterdamerung", which translates to "TWILIGHT of the Gods". We get that from RICHARD Branson, Raoul WALLENBERG, and Alexander Graham BELL.

So now we're down to the final two.

JOSE LIMON was a dancer and choreographer who studied under Doris HUMPHREY.

So WILLIAMSON minus the surname of the activist in #54 gives us LIMON.

The letters for #54 are AILWS. Wails? Walis? Swail?

That makes sense -- Curtis Sliwa admitted that some of the early Guardian Angel exploits never happened.

OK, I feel really dumb right now. I should've known his name. I heard it on TV a few months ago.

38. JOSE Ortega y Gasset + 13. Sonny Boy WILLIAMSON - 54. Curtis SLIWA = JOSE LIMON, goes with HUMPHREY

Good going everybody!!!!!!

One of the things I love about posting games to this group is, that collectively, you guys know EVERYTHING.

It keeps me on my toes, too, because I try to balance people from different fields, and that forces me into areas I don't know much about -- sports, philosophy, science, fashion. And I keep trying to use a preponderance of people I've never used before.

I already have the Tangredi for my next couple of puzzles planned. But it will be a bit before the actually get done.
