I may have had bad or outdated info in a couple of instances, so I'll just cut to the chase.

#7 - the more I read about tennis records, the more confusing it gets, so I'll just tell you I was looking for MARTINA NAVRATILOVA

#67 - again, I think I had bad information; I was looking for JACK NICKLAUS

Of the remaining definites, one is wrong and one is not a person.

One with a question mark is wrong, unless I screwed up again.

Of those with alternative answers, one includes the right answer and, in one case, both alternates are the same person.

Time to kickstart this game with another consolidation. I booted a few early ? answers in place of some more definite later answers....


40. Her father was a pioneering jet pilot and head of the Federal Aviation Administration under Presidents Kennedy and Johnson; her husband held an even more exalted position.
LISA HALABY? QUEEN NOOR AL-HUSSEIN?

44. In 1947, a nation mourned when this sports hero died after an injury to his upper right leg – though the real cause of death was probably a botched blood transfusion.
MANOLETE

I'm assuming that Lisa Halaby and Queen Noor are the same person.

Might #44 be SEABISCUIT? I know he died not too long after WWII.

44 is definitely Manolete, but this got me to thinking. One of Hemingway's best books is Death in the Afternoon about Spanish bullfighting. This would be a link to Manolete. There are a lot of other writers in this puzzle.

37. Though not a trained archaeologist, he is credited with discovering a lost citadel on a mountain ridge nearly 8,000 feet above sea level in the Eastern Cordillera.
HORACE BINGHAM

75. She had 5 Top Twenty hits in the 1960s, in support of a singer who had 20 other Top Twenty hits without her.
DARLENE LOVE? TAMMI TERRELL (Pretty sure it's Terrell)
One of Terrell's best known songs is Ain't No Mountain High Enough, which would be a natural link to Bingham. So if we expand the linking principle to other types of artists like singers, composers, painters, and movie directors, we could make some more matches like these two.

Now if you figured out after you posted (and then edited your post) why I mentioned Tenzing Norgay, perhaps you might allow for transcription errors in some names. Rude.

Since it's always possible my clues may have been at fault, here are the correct answers to those where the current answers are not what I had in mind.

24. WADE RATHKE
48. STAN GOLDBERG
101. JOHNNY LONGDEN
108. OSCAR DE LA RENTE

You can safely eliminate the questions that have been answered. And I have a feeling I know which pair is going to give away the Tangredi.

37. Though not a trained archaeologist, he is credited with discovering a lost citadel on a mountain ridge nearly 8,000 feet above sea level in the Eastern Cordillera.
HORACE BINGHAM

75. She had 5 Top Twenty hits in the 1960s, in support of a singer who had 20 other Top Twenty hits without her.
DARLENE LOVE? TAMMI TERRELL (Pretty sure it's Terrell)
One of Terrell's best known songs is Ain't No Mountain High Enough, which would be a natural link to Bingham. So if we expand the linking principle to other types of artists like singers, composers, painters, and movie directors, we could make some more matches like these two.
You may very well be on to something, but I think Tenzing Norgay would be an even better fit than Bingham.
Or maybe it's MOHAMMED, as in "if Mohammed will not come to the mountain, then Mohammed must go to the mountain." :mrgreen:
