Hey folks!  Sorry I'm so late, but I've finally got the fifth part of
Zed's Trivia Quiz on the net.  As usual, there are 20 points total, and
as usual, please mail the answers to me -- don't post!  (Even though I
put my address in the reply-to: window, I'm not sure if that will work
at my system.)  The deadline is going to be 12:01am EST, Tuesday,
February 2, 1993. I should have the 6th part to the quiz out by then. 
Good luck to everybody

1. (2 points) Given the month and year in which the leader of an
African independence movement left office, name the leader.  It's not
necessary to specify why a leader's tenure ended.  For example, if
February 1966 were given, the answer would be Kwame Nkrumah.  1 point
each.
a. November 1985
b. August 1978

2. (2 points) Still going!  Nothing outlasts the Energizer rabbit --
except perhaps for two African independence leaders of the '60s who
are, as I post the quiz, still the head of their respective countries. 
Name these two elderly leaders for one point each.

3. (1-1/2 points) What was the last (ie. most recent) song to jump to
#1 on the Billboard "Hot 100" singles chart from outside the Top 10? 
(That is, the week before it was first at #1, it wasn't even in the top
10.)

4. (3 points) Mount McKinley, is of course, the highest point in the
United States.  But the following, for one point each, are the highest
points in what countries?
a. Tamah Hill
b. Victoria Peak
c. Wemperhardt

5. (2 points) The quiz show 'Jeopardy!' often has a category called
'Common Bonds', in which three things are given that are in some way
related.  For example, if the clues given were 'Jay, Taney, Warren',
the answer would be 'Chief Justices of the US Supreme Court'.  1 point
for each of the following two, and no, you don't have to phrase it in
the form of a question:
a. Courage, Nature, Teresa
b. Louis, Donna, Facie [no, I won't accept '5-letter words']

6. (1 point) How many letters are there that are in the Esperanto
alphabet, but not in the English alphabet?  (By letters, I mean things
that aren't used only in names and words of foreign derivation; ie. I
would not consider 'w' a letter in the French alphabet or things like
'b' and 'f' in Finnish.)

7. (1 point) The six Oscars usually considered the most important are
the ones given for Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress,
Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actress.  What was the last
black-and-white film to win an Oscar in one of these six major
categories?

8. (1 point) Eight was enough to fill the Bradford family with love --
until they took in a ninth kid.  What was this kid's name?  First name
is enough.

9. (1-1/2 point) When Jim Thorpe won gold in the 1912 Olympics, another
American, who would become far more famous in another field, finished
behind him, in fifth place.  Who was this man?

10. (1 point) In what battle did the greatest number of American
soldiers die on one day?

11. (1-1/2 points) Another analogy question.
Fallingwater : Frank Lloyd Wright
US Capitol Building : ??

12. (1 point) Name the psychologist at Harvard who had her license
removed at the end of 1992 after one of her patients, Paul Lozano,
committed suicide because of an affair she was having with him.

13. (1-1/2 points) This woman, who only had one novel published in her
lifetime, was known in her childhood as a storyteller; indeed, for many
years she had been working on a story that was never published and was
titled "'Ropa Carmaign".  Name her.

Well, that's all she wrote (the pun *is* intended).  Please remember to
try to use the automatic reply, because that makes it easier for me to
score the responses (as long as it doesn't post it to the net!). 
Additionally, please don't send me back the questions themselves!
