Meredith asked Reg if Clinton looked like someone who might be elected president some day; his reply was that Bill was long-haired and bearded. He also said that neither he nor Bill were good shooters but they were good passers.

$16K: It's either libraries or museums. I would also ask the expert.

$25K: I read this book back in high school, but I can't remember what "the catcher in the rye" actually was. PAF.

Managed to get through elhi school without reading "Catcher in the Rye". ATA or PAF (I forget if I would have still had the ATA.). No problemo on the other question.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.
