Game #122 -- Homage to Mutt and Jeff

[winegreg]

I got here late, as usual, so the only contribution I can make is a guess at #36.
Elmer(Borden). His wife Elsie was famous first, so he got stuck with the glue.

58. Of all current NCAA basketball coaches with over twenty years experience, he has the highest winning percentage.

I think this is Roy Williams, not Coach K.

Elmer(Borden). His wife Elsie was famous first, so he got stuck with the glue.
-Greg

As compensation, though, his name is actually on the product and hers isn't.

Spoiler

(I wonder if it's a coincidence that a glue named after a bull consists of a white substance that spurts out of a pointed protuberance.)

I've wanted to get Elmer into a puzzle for a long time!

[silvercamaro]

23. This Oklahoma cattleman needed to take a course in business ethics: in 1929, he was convicted of ordering the murders of five members of his nephew’s family in order to gain their oil rights.

This is WILLIAM HALE. In addition to the murdered family members, another nephew's wife was poisoned, but later recovered. He also is believed to have ordered the murders of two dozen or so other people who might have testified against him. The Osage Indians had tons of oil money in those days -- enough, evidently, to kill for.

Very good. Two of the definites are wrong. In one case, the correct answer was suggested by someone else. In the other, the person might be rather obscure, so I wouldn't agonize over it just yet.

40. In 1975, this center fielder pulled off a double honor that had never been accomplished before, and was not duplicated for another 26 years.

It's Lynn, not Lynne (my bad), but we should upgrade this to definite. He was ROY and MVP in the same season. Ichiro did the same in 2001.

[silverscreenselect]

86. "Killing men is my specialty," boasted this Old West bounty hunter – who was eventually hanged for practicing his specialty on a 14 year-old boy.

I posted this earlier. It's TOM HORN.

[ne1410s]

88. Is definitely William Baffin

[KillerTomato]

I can confirm #53 is definitely Darren Aronofsky.

[silverscreenselect]

98. Aside from the four films he made for his country’s greatest director, this dapper European actor is best known for playing the title villain in a movie that won an Oscar for Best Picture.

This one's been driving me nuts, but I think the person Frank is going after is Fernando Rey who played the mastermind in The French Connection and worked with Luis Bunuel on a number of occasions.

I've never heard that the title of the film referred to Rey's character though (who was generally called Frog 1 in the film), just that it referred to the route and method that Rey and his associates used to smuggle the drugs into the United States.

6. The difficulties this chemist ran into trying to isolate americium and curium during the Manhattan Project led to the most significant revision in the periodic table since Mendeleev.
Glenn Seaborg?

I'm pretty sure this is Seaborg.

7. GARY OLDMAN

8. Arguably the most quotable of modern philosophers – especially by history teachers – his magnum opus examined a single principle through the lenses of Common Sense, Society, Religion, Art, and Science.
George Santayana?

Santayana wrote books like "Reason in Art" and "Reason in Society" so I am pretty sure it is him.

11. As ambassador to the Soviet Union, this future Chancellor of the Exchequer helped forge the World War II alliance between Stalin and the West.
Stafford Cripps?

This is right.

15. This journalist conducted the very first Playboy interview, the subject of which was a legendary jazz musician.

Someone earlier suggested Hentoff.

32. This medieval theologian and dialectician got into considerable trouble for a work demonstrating how the early Church Fathers often contradicted one another – but this was far from the most painful ordeal of his life.
Peter Abelard?

This is definite. Abelard's most famous work is "Sic et Non" - "Yes and No."

34. In November 2000, this lawyer was instrumental in securing an important job for an important client, and the important client showed his gratitude a few months later by offering an important job to him.
John Ashcroft? Alberto Gonzales? James Baker? Ted Olsen?

Olsen was the guy who argued for Bush before the Supreme Court. I don't recall a big role by Ashcroft or Gonzales during the recount.

39. He is the only scientist to win two Nobel Prizes in the same category.
John Bardeen?

This is definite. He won for the transistor and he is the B in BCS theory.


42. JOHN GOTTI

Might this be the wrong definite?

43. In a rare word of commendation for federal relief efforts, Mayor Ray Nagin referred to this army general as a “John Wayne dude … that can get some stuff done.”
Honore?

Russell Honore is his name.

49. This composer provided the music for seven Broadway shows, including one highly unusual – and highly successful – blend of U.S. political satire and Irish fantasy.
Burton Lane?

Again, this shouts "Finian's Rainbow"


55. Slated for canonization this year, this “martyr of charity” is already considered the spiritual patron of – among other things – AIDS patients, outcasts, and Hawaii.
Father Damien de Veuster?

Damien is definitely the AIDS guy, and the Hawaii connection is obvious.

60. This British physiologist was the first scientist to measure sap flow in plants, the first to measure blood pressure, and the first to demonstrate the dangers of breathing stale air.
William Harvey? Robert Hooke?

I think is Harvey.

62. At a time when most available British troops were across the Atlantic fighting the Americans, this general won his great victory at the head of a combined Anglo-German-Dutch army.
Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington?

Well, that makes sense, if it is the War of 1812. So, yeah.

70. She is the current president of what Bill O’Reilly has called "the most dangerous organization in the United States of America.”
[fn: my mother is a member of the same organization.]
Susan Herman? Nadine Strossen?

Strossen is head of the ACLU.

71. In 1908, this novelist launched what later became known as the “had-I-but-known” school of mystery fiction. (She also wrote one of the few murder mysteries in which the butler actually did do it.)
Mary Roberts Rinehart?

A Final Jeopardy once mention Rinehart and the "butler did it" meme. So I think this is right.

72. His road to media moguldom began in the 1960s, when he became head of children’s programming for ABC.
Roone Arledge?

I put that, but that's not right.

75. This journalist founded the Albany Evening Journal as an anti-Masonic newspaper, and went on to exert considerable influence in Whig and Republican politics for thirty years.
Horace Greeley? Thurlow Weed?

I am pretty sure it is Weed.

76. This eighteenth century philosopher and mystic claimed to have received his insights about the nature of Heaven and the Trinity directly from the angels.
Emanuel Swedenbourg?

Pretty sure.

96. In 1943, this Nobel Prize-winning physicist was smuggled to Sweden via fishing boat, then to England via bomber.
Niels Bohr? Werner Heisenberg?

Bohr escaped to Sweden.

[Carmelo Anthony]

70. She is the current president of what Bill O’Reilly has called "the most dangerous organization in the United States of America.”
[fn: my mother is a member of the same organization.]
Susan Herman? Nadine Strossen?

Strossen is head of the ACLU.

Strossen was head of the ACLU. She retired in October. Herman is the current president.

[NellyLunatic1980]

42. JOHN GOTTI

Might this be the wrong definite?

It's pretty well-known that Paul Castellano was bumped off outside of Manhattan's Sparks Steakhouse on Gotti's orders. Unless you know any other mafiosi who were bumped off at a Manhattan steakhouse, I'd say this answer is safely correct.

A-ha. I just figured it out. Somebody offered up Sammy Gravano on this one before. He was involved with Gotti in the hit on Castellano. Plus, Gravano is famous for being an informer... particularly, the informer who brough down Gotti.

So Gravano is the correct answer after all.

[NellyLunatic1980]

I'm wondering if #89 could be Leo G. Carroll, who did a few films with Leonard Carey, including the Oscar-winning "Rebecca".

It'd be pretty cool if Carroll were correct because he played Marley's ghost in the 1938 version of "A Christmas Carol".

Sorry on iPhone so this is terse. Think the Yorkshire lass is Cathy Linton from Wuthering Heights. The novel has to be WH.

Don't know how I missed it but 100 has to be Elizabeth Gaskell. Wrote North and South and Cranford etc

Alex Chilton perhaps from BOX TOP?

[smilergrogan]

Checked on a couple:
John Paul Jones is wrong for #25. The more obscure ship captain was SAMUEL TUCKER.
SANFORD DOLE is right for #44.
#80 is BARRY COMMONER.

"Mutt and Jeff" suggests opposites. We have a Commoner and a Rey now, but that's all I see.

I thought Frank said this Tangredi was going to be easy!

I think you just revealed the Tangredi.

First initial + last name = new last name.

Works with Cathy Linton, Conrad Hilton, Thurlow Weed, Susan Herman, etc.

That's it. Father Damien + Tom Horn = Damien Thorn (Omen)
Margaret Bourke-White + Teri Hatcher = Margaret Thatcher (Iron)
Matt Groenig + Leopold Auer = Matt Lauer (Today)
Ronald Dworkin + Gary Oldman = Ronald Goldman (OJ)
Peter Abelard + Darius Rucker = Peter Drucker (Management)

[Weyoun]

to complete the process, use a first name. Elmer plus my name gets Elmer Sperry who was a wrong answer when Olmstead won. Anyway he invented the gyro COMPASS.

[smilergrogan]

The toughest Tangredis are the ones that stare you right in the face!

And I am typing this in an office at the alma mater of one Jane Froman, on our short list of most famous graduates! (Played by Susan Hayward in With a Song in my Heart)

A couple more:

Lucretia Garfield + Mel Ott = Lucretia Mott (Seneca)
Clyde Tombaugh + Ted Olson = Clyde Tolson (Hoover)
James ?? + William Hale = James Whale (Frankenstein)
Barry Commoner + Steve Adler = Barry Sadler (Green)

Carol Haney has to give us Temple bball coach John Chaney.

[Weyoun]

Stafford Cripps would give us the newspaper guy Scripps.
