Oops, and I just noticed that #71 is not who I had in mind. I don't think Springsteen fits, since he was already very much on the national radar by 1975. If my clue was too ambiguous, I'll come up with a clarification, but it may work itself out.

6. By the time he was eighteen, this knighted entrepreneur had already started his first business, a magazine, as well as his first charity.

This is definitely correct. He started both "Student" magazine and the Student Advisory Centre charity when he was 17.

The correct answer is Gompers.

*37. JOHNNY LONGDEN
38. This Spanish philosopher extended “Cogito ergo sum” to “Yo soy yo y mi circunstancia." (You gonna argue with him?)

Also correct.

39. One of the most important medieval historians, this Benedictine monk wrote a history of England as well as biographies of Becket and Edward the Confessor.
GEOFFREY OF MONMOUTH? (The) VENERABLE BEDE?

Bede predates Becket by about 450 years, so it's not him. Was Geoffrey of Monmouth a Benedictine monk? I'd like to add a name of my own as a possibility for this question: AILRED OF RIEVAULX. Ailred was an abbot of Rievaulx Abbey in Yorkshire. Although Rievaulx Abbey was of the Cistercian order, Cistercians are an offshoot of the Benedictines, so technically Ailred was a Benedictine. Ailred wrote "The Life of Saint Edward, King and Confessor" and the Cistercians in general had a long relationship with Becket.

I'm looking at a possibility for a Tangredi trio: I'm thinking that one of the Alfreds would go with Aubrey BEARDSLEY and Nora BAYES to make ALFRED REDL, an Austrian counterintelligence officer who might've committed TREASON by secretly working with the secret services of France and Italy.

Pair it with CHRISTOPHER Lowell to get Christopher Lambert who playe TARZAN in the Greystoke movie (the one where someone -- Glenn Close, maybe -- had to dub all of Andie McDowell's dialogue).

Here's something interesting: PIRANDELLO makes EARP and DILLON, either of which could go with DODGE. We have MATT Biondi to make MATT DILLON, but one of the other clues would have to be an EARP brother. I don't think they were ever Texas cattlemen, were they? To go the other way, we would need a WYATT, MORGAN, or VIRGIL for one of the answers, and a DILLON for another.

BALCH could go with either PACHELBEL, leaving PEEL, or with CHAMBERLAIN, leaving MERIAN or RAMINE, etc.

RABIN could go with CHAMBERLAIN, leaving LAMECH

Oh, and when did #28 become a definite answer? Granted, it's a little trickily worded, but the book -- and its opening line -- are very very famous. And there are a lot of people who consider it their favorite book of all time. I know my sister does.

Ok, I think the book must be Little Women, then, with the first line about Christmas not being Christmas, and the budding author is the character, JO MARCH, not the book's author.
Not that Jo March could ever take the place of Jane March, but she could go with CHAMBERLAIN, leaving another BLAINE, or LABINE or ALBIEN?

I think we can get rid of the question mark on SCHOENBERG now. He's definitely correct.

Anna Wintour + Roger Bannister - Yitzak Rabin = Anna Sten who Sam Goldwyn (?) tried to make a star in NANA.

Can we put that with DAVID Livingstone and make DAVID BLAINE, who was once frozen in ICE?

#65 is correct with ANDRZEJ WAJDA. The film in question was "A Generation".

I was wondering why such a unique name would be included in this game, but then it hit me... through DANTON, one of the associated words. "Danton" was a 1983 film directed by Andrzej Wajda that co-starred Andrzej Seweryn. I don't know what two names would produce "Seweryn", but this is at least something else to consider.

Well, then ... there are two possible answers to this. My apologies. The director I had in mind was involved in what has often been called the most significant postwar movement -- at least, that's what they said when I took film class. But I may be ethnically prejudiced here.

Well, so much for my Andrzej Wajda epiphany... :P

Googled some answers:
#33 is AMBROISE PARE, that takes care of the Earp possibility
#65 is ROBERTO ROSSELLINI, will go with IRONS to leave ELLIS
#68 is CONSTANCE KENT, will go with KITCHENER to leave REICH (Robert?)
#79 is OLIVER LOVING (Goodnight-Loving Trail), will go with LIVINGSTONE to leave STEIN, messing up the David Blaine possibility
Maybe this means David Ricardo is correct for #11, but on the other hand we need an Alfred. I couldn't confirm which is correct.
#55 is not Alfred Kinsey, and I couldn't confirm whether William Masters' first wife was a lesbian. Maybe he couldn't either.
