Wrangle With a Witch -- Quiz Quilt 212 Puzzle
Robert Jen
Wranglers jeans in the past. But watching Brett Favre advertise the
denim pants on television over and over again finally made me look
up what the word means. "Wrangler" is a North American term for
"packer", I mean "jet", I mean "viking"; wait, no, it really means
"cowboy", just like you'd expect.

Okay, HAGGLE upwards, so the third latter of Karajan is actually H.
SCH seems most likely, so I'll guess SCHNEIDER. And say SELLIE for
the monster.

Seems like every country has its Nessie. I've never heard of this
Norwegian beast, but in Sweden we have Storsj�odjuret.

Could be Herbert von KARAJAN, although I mainly associate him with
the Berlin Philharmonic.
There seems to be something in the fourth column ending in GGAR, or
starting in RAGG. I go for BEGGAR only to have said something.

And Gryttie and the Varberg Fortress Moat Monster (from the collection
at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_reported_lake_monsters). The
U.S. leads the list, but is barely ahead of Canada. Same people
who've reported all those UFOs, I guess.

Incorrect (?AGG?? is right, but the 'R' isn't).

Correct (it's good to know that kids being mean to each other isn't
a new trend, especially since not only are we not supposed to hit them,
we aren't even supposed to yell at them anymore. And then when they
don't behave, we call it ADHD and prescribe Ritalin???).

Varberg Fortress? Egads! Never heard of that one. Well, I'm slated to pay
a visit to that town in December, now I am warned.

Quilt is probably HAGGLE, which almost fits column 3 up. Either you have
questions 1 and 2 switched, or Fulton's boat had another name (which I
think it did, but I can't remember it).
As for the conductor, I'm going to guess MAHLER. He was a composer, but
the name fits the quilt. Maybe he was a conductor, too.
