Answer somewhere near 1996/6/20.  If you email me *one* pair of answers
I will answer with a simple 'yes' or 'no' -- no clues.

Reference works (including the net) may be used.

Beginnings:

  * The boys caught their breaths, as did everyone who saw it
    for the first time.

    picture of a dowager, fat and fretful, overdressed and

      * Even if he didn't like this way to fight it ?

        there were no hard feelings, etc..

      * (I once heard a lady colonist ask /why/ we didn't use

        -- at least I slept better.
