An interesting coincidence in the #9 question of the week: Spaatz, Bradley, and Patton were ranked 1, 2, and 3 by Eisenhower as his best generals. I’m guessing that in the LA parade Bradley came after Patton because he was Patton’s superior, but I find it interesting that the NYT chose to publish Patton’s picture in the parade and not Bradley’s.

Answer #10 of 15: The first word should be “Milder,” not “Iceland.” And then “warmed,” not “washed.”

And “THE 1946 NASH CAR” box should have included the word “ADVERTISEMENT.”

I just fancy pointing out NYT BS before I was born up to the current day.
