1. I'm glad she changed her mind and went with BLT, which is what I was screaming at the TV. 2. easy.3. I eliminated Wilson (way too early to be thinking about civil rights-he had World War 1 on his mind), didn't think it was Kennedy or Nixon, so went with FDR.

4. I knew this one from (a) watching Animal Planet's Dogs 101 show and (b) my cousin, who owns one of these. It's HUGE.
