TOSSUPS - EMERGENCY BLIND ROUND CENTER OF THE KNOWN UNIVERSE OPEN 1998 Questions by Charlie Steinhice 1.

FTP name the Roman emperor who built a wall to keep the troublesome Picts out of England. [Hadrian] 2. A graduate of the University of Iowa, while at Johns Hopkins in the late 1940’s he used captured German V-2 rockets to carry instruments into the upper atmosphere.

According to one reference source he was professor of physics at Turin from 1834 to 1859, but the same source says he died in 1856. Guess his coursework was a bit light those last three years.

FTP name the man who postulated that equal volumes of gases at equal pressures contain equal numbers of molecules. [Amedeo Avogadro] 4. Ernest Borgnine, Hume Cronyn, Patricia Neal, and Kevin Spacey all got their starts here; the most famous alumnus is Gregory Peck. Since George Bernard Shaw was a vegetarian, it sent him spinach as royalty payment, while Noel Coward, Thornton Wilder, and Tennessee Williams accepted Virginia ham. It had the hams because for the audience a whole pig was worth a season pass. FTP name this red-brick theatre in Abingdon, VA, which keeps thename from its Depression-era means of survival. [the Barter Theatre] 5. Its biggest advantage is that it results in straight-line bearings that are correct, an obvious aid in navigation. However, some have charged that its continued use is Eurocentric because it distorts the areas closer to the pole so that they appear larger.

FTP name this map projection, named for its 16th century inventor. [Mercator projection] 6. These horrible monsters make an appearance in the Aeneid, where they predict dire troubles for the Trojans, including that they will have to eat their own tables.

FTP, what are these half-woman, half-bird monsters, whose collective name today is still used as an insult? [Harpies] 7. It comes from a slang term for a buzzing insect. Federico Fellini chose it as the name for a character in La Dolce Vita, and the term soon came to apply to real-life equivalents such as Ron Galella.

[Douglas Haig, 1st Earl of Haig] 10. The concept came from Jed Buell, a former Denver theater manager turned producer. The director was the prolific Sam Newfield.

FTP name this, the first and (mercifully) last all-midget Western. [The Terror of Tiny Town] 11. Here’s a Newly Dead Game tossup! Clara Rockmore died in May at age 87.

FTP give the last name of Rockmore’s Russian lover and you’ve named the original electronic musical instrument. [theremin] 12. The real one depicted Scottish country life in such admired novels as The Ayrshire Legatees and The Annals of the Parish. The fictional one had a monologue that probably lasted as long any of those novels. In that monologue this research engineer expounds on ethical egoism, or objectivism. FTP name this character and you’ve answered the question that opens Ayn Rand’s novel Atlas Shrugged. [John Galt] 13. It galvanized union support for Truman in the election of 1948.

FTP name this act, passed over Truman’s veto in 1947. [Taft-Hartley Act; accept Labor-Management Relations Act] 14.

FTP name this 20th century philosophical school. [logical positivism] 15. His economy and directness heavily influenced Michelangelo and Masaccio, as did his rejection of the flat stylized Byzantine style.

FTP name this Florentine master of the fresco. [Giotto] 16. Hugh Edwards’ Crack of Doom. G. Wilson Knight’s The Imperial Theme. Aldous Huxley’s Brief Candles.

Pendleton got the nod because their most prominent exponent, Clement Vallandigham, was already exiled by then. Their nickname stemmed from what some wore to emphasize their hard-money preferences; however, their economic issues were generally overshadowed by their criticism of the war effort. FTP name this mostly Midwestern faction which opposed the Civil War. [Copperheads] 20. The younger son Edmund is consumptive, but his father refuses to recognizes that rather obvious detail.
