Game #117 -- Supplies Are Limited

[Weyoun]

okay, I am going to use KT's consolidation to confirm as many as possible.

3 MAX PLANCK? EINSTEIN?

This is definitely Planck. Planck had to propose E=hf so that Einstein could apply it to the photoelectric effect. And Einstein's annus mirabilis was 1905.

10 If you’re my age, it’s hard not to smile when you think of this actress, who made her last movie in 1987 – the same year she received a devastating medical diagnosis.
10 MARY TYLER MOORE? AUDREY HEPBURN(?)

This is not Moore, because she was in Flirting with Disaster. Hepburn doesn't seem right - I recall a very quick death from pancreatic cancer or something. Other than that I am not much help. Someone with MS? Teri Garr starred in other films, though.

11 Awarded the Medal of Honor for his service at Gettysburg, this general later commanded of the Union troops at Lee’s surrender.
11 WINFIELD SCOTT HANCOCK? JOSHUA LAWRENCE CHAMBERLAIN?

I think this is Chamberlain.

14 This German phenomenologist asserted that the fundamental characteristic of consciousness is that it is always intentional. (Well, duh!)

This is definitely HUSSERL. Well, Husserl fits the answer, my consciousness tells me.

16 This simple-minded lad is the eponymous hero of what is arguably the least-read novel of the most widely-read Victorian novelist.
16 BARNABY RUDGE

Yes

17 Unlike many family singing groups, whose members later go on to establish solo careers, this New Orleans quintet did not begin recording together until a decade after the oldest brother hit Number One on the Billboard R&B chart.
17 I WOULD SAY THAT THIS IS THE NEVILLE BROTHERS, BUT AARON NEVILLE IS NOT THE OLDEST, AND HE HAD A NUMBER #1 HIT IN THE 1060S.

Could this be a mistake then? The Nevilles have five members, even.

18 His path to paleontology began when, at the age of five, he had his first encounter with Tyrannosaurus rex at New York’s Museum of Natural History.
18 STEPHEN JAY GOULD

Pretty sure this is Gould.

20 Once considered a rival of Fielding, this Scottish-born novelist achieved popularity with two picaresque novels with alliteratively-named title characters.
20 SIR WALTER SCOTT? TOBIAS SMOLLET?

Smollett - like I said above, Roderick Random and Peregrine Pickle

21 One of the longest-running dictators of the 20th century, he was finally ousted in the 36th year of his regime, shortly after winning his ninth (you should pardon the expression) “election”.
21 GENERALISSIMO FRANCISCO FRANCO (and he's still dead.)? ALFREDO STROESSNER?

The problem with Franco is that by the end he wasn't running for elections, and pretty much had given power over to Juan Carlos. So Stroessner, I think, works if the years pan out.

26 This Hungarian-born producer is best known for bringing the work of a great Irish dramatist to the screen – which indirectly gave him a hand in the creation of a popular musical.

I said Korda, but Korda's too British. Frank seems to be referring to the late 30's film Pygmalion. So, who produced it?

32 Raised in a Jewish slum in London, he was perhaps second only to Wilfred Owen among the British ‘war poets’ whose lives and careers ended in the trenches.
32 ISAAC ROSENBERG?

I misread this and said Sassoon, based on fame. Yes, Rosenberg died during the war like Owen. In my defense, Sassoon was Jewish and I ran with it.

39 Onstage, this British actress played the Queen of France and the Queen of the Nile; offstage, she was better known for her dalliance with the oldest son of the Queen of England.
39 JENNY LIND? SARAH BERNHARDT? LILLY LANGTRY?

Langtry dated Victoria's son Bertie.

40 Banned from the securities industry since the 1990s, this financial whiz has since turned his attention to philanthropy.
40 WARREN BUFFETT? MICHAEL MILKIN

This is Milken.

41 One of the trio of muckrakers who made McClure’s magazine a leading organ of Progressive reform, he is best known for his attacks on urban political corruption.

Think this is Lincoln STEFFENS. His most famous work is "The Shame of the Cities." His most infamous pimped Soviet Russia.

42 The “guy on the far left,” he was personally uncomfortable with what he viewed as his exaggerated status as a war hero.
42 ADMIRAL STOCKDALE

Ira HAYES is the guy on the left in the famous photo. Also, he's the only guy in that photo I could name off the top of my head, leading me to think he is right.

52 In between spy thrillers, he snagged an Oscar nomination for a very different sort of film about one of the most harrowing events of recent history.

Like I said above, this is definitely Paul GREENGRASS.

53 This co-founder and first president of the Theosophical Society was also one of the first prominent westerners to convert to Buddhism.

Thought Besant, who was president, but I think it might be Colonel Olcott. I don't know his first name.

55 This general served eleven non-consecutive terms as president of his country, but is better known in the United States for losing wars.
55 GAMAL NASSER? CHARLES DE GAULLE? SANTA ANNA?

Santa Anna is famous for being Mexican president a bunch of times, and for losing Texas first and then the Mexican War.

67 This gorgeous actress was the daughter of one influential film director, was married for three years to another, and lived five years with a third.
67 ISABELLA ROSSELLINI? SOFIA COPPOLA? (I vote for Rossellini.)

Well, she was married to Scorsese and dated David Lynch...

69 This Shakespearean wench never addresses her lusty paramour as ‘Big Guy,’ but she certainly would have been justified in doing so.

Think this is Mistress Quickly, but Mistress Page is also in that play, which I have not read.

70 In 1865, this entrepreneur opened a factory in Philadelphia to manufacturer a product that forever shaped our vision of the Old West.
70 COLT? LEVI STRAUSS? STETSON?

As I said above, Stetson was from Philly.

72 This long-haired rocker sang lead on what was arguably the best power ballad of the 1980s, but in the sex tape he made with another 80s icon, he was definitely a runner-up.
72 STEVE PERRY? TOMMY LEE? I don't think so…Probably VINCE NEIL, who also shtupped Pam on video, but I can't think of a Crue power ballad.

I said Brett Michaels of Poison, who also shtupped Pam and has "Every Rose..." going for him.

78 She was the first of two consecutive actresses to win an Oscar for a picture directed by the father of her children.

Susan Sarandon was directed by Tim Robbins in Dead Man Walking. The next year, McDormand, directed by her husband, won for Fargo.

79 This English man of letters wrote poems and plays, but is best known for the essays he wrote in conjunction with an Irish man of letters.

My guess is Joseph ADDISON. He was English and Richard Steele was Irish.

Well, the years do not work out for Stroessner -- August 15, 1954 – February 3, 1989. However, the other info does match, so it probably was the intended answer.

I guess that we should start pairing up for those Tancredi things.

Could this be a mistake then? The Nevilles have five members, even.

Yes, the 'oldest' thing was a mistake on my part. I saw a list that put him first, and I assumed without checking that it meant he was the oldest. It is the Neville Brothers.

18 His path to paleontology began when, at the age of five, he had his first encounter with Tyrannosaurus rex at New York’s Museum of Natural History.

32 ISAAC ROSENBERG?

Sassoon, however, survived World War I -- in fact, he lived until 1967.

39 Onstage, this British actress played the Queen of France and the Queen of the Nile; offstage, she was better known for her dalliance with the oldest son of the Queen of England.

I will say that I never think of Mistress Quickly as a wench. And the Merry Wives managed to maintain their virtue. Somebody else fits the clue perfectly.

70 In 1865, this entrepreneur opened a factory in Philadelphia to manufacturer a product that forever shaped our vision of the Old West.
70 COLT? LEVI STRAUSS? STETSON?

[Appa23]

If Falstaff is the "Big Guy", is it Doll Tearsheet?

[silverscreenselect]

I got the Tangredi.

You take the last name of a person and remove all the double letters and anagram what's left. Add that to the first name of another person.

Ron Carey + Elizabeth Cady Stanton = Ron SANTO (Cubs)

Johannes Guttenberg + Harold Abrahams = Johannes BRAHMS (Midnight)

Ira Hayes + Neville Brothers = Ira LEVIN (Sergeants)

That last one is what gave it to me. The only Sergeants I could think of for a clue was No Time for Sergeants, and Ira Hayes matched up with that perfectly.

Hopefully this makes up for my not being able to work much on these last couple of puzzles.

[Weyoun]

Oh! A wonderful idea! I'll be able to help around 4 Eastern.

[NellyLunatic1980]

If Falstaff is the "Big Guy", is it Doll Tearsheet?

It's possible cuz we can pair that with PATTY Berg to make PATTY HEARST.

[NellyLunatic1980]

10 If you’re my age, it’s hard not to smile when you think of this actress, who made her last movie in 1987 – the same year she received a devastating medical diagnosis.
10 MARY TYLER MOORE? AUDREY HEPBURN(?)

This is not Moore, because she was in Flirting with Disaster. Hepburn doesn't seem right - I recall a very quick death from pancreatic cancer or something. Other than that I am not much help. Someone with MS? Teri Garr starred in other films, though.

Definitely not Garr. She wasn't diagnosed with MS until 2002. Annette Funicello is also out cuz her MS diagnosis was in 1992 (although her last film, "Back to the Beach", did come out in 1987).

How about Gilda Radner? Her last film was "Haunted Honyemoon", and she was diagnosed with cancer during its filming.

According to IMDB, Annette was diagnosed in 1987. She did not, however, make it public until 1992.

[silverscreenselect]

Mickey Spillane + Georg Telemann = Mickey MANTLE (Seven)

[silverscreenselect]

According to IMDB, Annette was diagnosed in 1987. She did not, however, make it public until 1992.

Since Frank does some of these Tangredis backwards, Annette Funicello + Strom Thurmond = NATE Thurmond (Warriors)

Never in a million years would I thought of a diagnosis of MS as being "devastating", like a terminal illness.

[silverscreenselect]

One more before I have to go.

Margaret Mead + Paul Greengrass = Margaret SANGER (Control)

[Weyoun]

James Tyrell becomes Tyler, and paired with John Calvin gives us John Tyler, who was Harrison's vice president.

[Weyoun]

Yvonne Goolagong anagrams to Logan. Joshua Chamberlain plus Logan gives us Joshua Logan, who directed the film version of South Pacific. Now I've washed that question right out of my hair.

[Weyoun]

Primo Carnera anagrams to Crane. Stephen Jay Gould plus Crane gives us Stephen Crane, who wrote the Red Badge of COURAGE.

[Weyoun]

Coronado anagrams to Conrad. Joseph Addison plus Conrad gives us Joseph Conrad, who wrote Heart of Darkness.

[plasticene]

Ellerbee anagrams to Brel. Jacques d'Amboise plus Brel gives us Jacques Brel, who was Belgian.

[Weyoun]

Stetson anagrams to Stone, which fits with Lucy Hayes to give us Lucy Stone, a noted women's rights pioneer. Would she work with New England?

[Weyoun]

Alfred Werner anagrams to Wren. Christopher Marlowe plus Wren gives us Christopher Wren, who built St. Paul's Cathedral.

[Weyoun]

Cellini anagrams to Cline. Patsy Montana plus Cline gives us Patsy Cline, who sang Walking After MIDNIGHT.

[Weyoun]

Gabriel Heatter anagrams to Harte. Bret (not Brett) Michaels plus Harte gives us Bret Harte, who wrote The OUTCASTS of Poker Flat.

[Weyoun]

This is a wonderful one, Frank. Santa Anna anagrams to Nast. Thomas Carlyle plus Nast gives us Thomas Nast, who brought attention to Boss TWEED and Tammany Hall.

[Weyoun]

The Theosophist has to be Colonel Olcott, whose first name I still don't know. But Olcott angrams to Colt, and Samuel plus Colt gives us Samuel Colt, who gave us that delightful drink, the Colt FORTY-FIVE.

[plasticene]

Cellini anagrams to Cline. Patsy Montana plus Cline gives us Patsy Cline, who sang Walking After MIDNIGHT.

Thanks for that. I was wondering what Brahms had to do with midnight. Johannes Brahms composed a set of HUNGARIAN Dances.
