These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2018-06-04,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers to the newsgroup in a single followup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.
All questions were written by members of What She Said and are
used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have
been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information see
my 2018-07-16 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 3, Round 7 - History - The AIDS Crisis
Although forensic medicine has determined that HIV was actually
present at very low levels in the American populace as early as
the 1960s, AIDS exploded in notoriety in the late 1970s and 1980s,
and defined a generation of gay activism. To commemorate the
first week of Pride Month, these questions are about the biggest
North American health crisis of the past 50 years.
1. In the early days of the disease's spread, AIDS was briefly
referred to by a different acronym, GRID, before researchers
realized that it was not limited to gay men. What did GRID
stand for?
2. The first AIDS-discrimination lawsuit was filed on behalf of
a doctor threatened with eviction from his home because he
was treating AIDS patients. Within one year, when was that
lawsuit filed?
3. The retrovirus that causes AIDS, now called HIV, was identified
in 1983. In which country did researchers first discover it?
4. This playwright, columnist, and activist helped to organize
GMHC (Gay Men's Health Crisis) as an early activist response
to the disease, but his firebrand style alienated many of
his allies and he was ousted from the organization in 1983.
He later wrote "The Normal Heart", a semi-autobiographical play
about the early days of the crisis. Name him.
5. After being kicked out of GMHC, <answer 4> organized a
new activist group whose goals were explicitly political.
They organized many successful protests against the FDA, the
CDC, and the Catholic Church (among others). Name the group.
6. This Indiana teenager contracted HIV due to a contaminated
blood treatment for his hemophilia, and members of his
community attempted to bar him from returning to school in 1985.
His family was threatened and his home shot at. He died of
AIDS-related complications in 1988. Who was he?
7. This attorney and political operative assisted Senator Joseph
McCarthy in his anti-Communist "witch-hunt" and later served as
counsel to Donald Trump. He was also a closeted homosexual who
got AIDS, and Trump dumped him after learning this. In 1986
he was disbarred for unethical acts as a lawyer, and he died
of the disease less than 6 weeks later. Name him.
8. In response to the crisis and to pressure government, activists
created this piece of community folk art to impress the populace
with the deadly toll of AIDS on society. As of 2016, it is the
largest piece of communal art in the world and weighs 54 tons.
What *type* of artwork is it?
9. This man was Surgeon-General of the US under President
Ronald Reagan. He was prevented from discussing AIDS, until
Reagan asked him for a report. Against Reagan's expectation,
the report emphasized widespread education, encouraged condom
use, and rejected mandatory-testing regimes. In 1988 he
went on to the unprecedented step of mailing an informational
package to every household in the United States about HIV and
AIDS transmission. Name this Surgeon-General.
10. This popular women's magazine published an article in 1988
written by a psychiatrist that claimed that if men and women had
"healthy genitals", the risk of HIV transmission was extremely
low even if "the male partner is infected". <answer 5> protested
at the magazine's offices and the magazine eventually retracted
the article. Name the magazine.
* Game 3, Round 8 - Art - Comic-Book Artists
Please see the 3-page handout at:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/3-8/comix.pdf
Comic-book artists are often known for their distinctive style.
We'll give you a name and some other information, and you identify
which number image they drew.
1. Jack Kirby: probably the most influential superhero comic artist
of all time, he co-created Captain America, the Hulk, Black
Panther, and the original X-Men, among others.
2. Steve Ditko: the co-creator of Spider-Man, known both for his
psychedelic landscapes and his weird libertarian political
beliefs.
3. Jim Aparo: DC Comics' most important and reliable artist of
the 1970s and '80s, and considered one of the iconic Batman
artists.
4. George Perez: Most famous for his runs on "The Avengers", "Crisis
on Infinite Earths", and "Wonder Woman", Perez's neo-classical
superhero style has made him a fan favorite for over forty years.
5. Darwyn Cooke: this Torontonian artist won numerous Eisner,
Harvey, and Joe Schuster awards for his elegant, cartoony style.
6. Jeff Smith: also a Harvey and Eisner winner, best known for his
long-form masterwork "Bone", but also happy to work on corporate
properties.
7. Alison Bechdel: Rising to prominence for her comic strip, "Dykes
to Watch Out For", she has since published two graphic novels
about her childhood, one of which was adapted into a Tony-award
winning play.
8. Jillian Tamaki: Winner of the Caldecott Award and a Governor-
General's Award for children's illustration, she works primarily
with her writer sister Mariko.
9. Mike Mignola: Best known for creating properties which have
spawned numerous successful movies, his style has been described
as "German expressionism meets Jack Kirby".
10. Fiona Staples: This Calgarian is considered one of the best
artists working today, on books such as Saga and the recent
reboot of "Archie".
So there were 8 decoys. Decode the rot13 if you'd like to see
their names and identify which picture they drew, with no further
information, for fun, but for no points.
11. Wbua Olear.
12. Xngr Orngba.
13. Qna QrPneyb.
14. Arny Nqnzf.
15. Pney Onexf.
16. Nznaqn Pbaare.
17. Senax Zvyyre.
18. Pheg Fjna.
