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 in a single followup to the newsgroup,
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. For further information see
my 2010-11-16 companion posting on "Five Guys Named Moe Questions
from the Canadian Inquisition (QFTCI5GNM)".
All questions were written by members of Five Guys Named Moe,
and are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and
may have been retyped and/or edited by me.
** Final, Round 3 - Arts & Literature
* Alliteratively Named Choreographers
In each case, name the alliteratively named choreographer.
1. At 6 feet 6½ inches (1.99 m), this choreographer/director is
unusually tall for a dancer. Over the course of his career,
he has won 9 Tony Awards, including two in 1983, one for
Best Actor in a Musical and one for Best Choreography for
"My One and Only".
2. In a single year he choreographed "42nd Street", "Footlight
Parade", and "Gold Diggers of 1933".
3. He was an American choreographer and activist who is
credited with popularizing modern dance and revolutionizing
African-American participation. His choreographic masterpiece
"Revelations" is believed to be the best known and most
often seen modern dance performance.
* Top 100 Crime and Mystery Novels
In 1990, the British-based Crime Writers' Association (CWA)
published its list of the Top 100 Crime Novels of All Time, and
in 1995 the US-based Mystery Writers of America (MWA) followed
suit with its Top 100 Mystery Novels of All Time. We'll give
you the title and date of a novel, and its rank on both lists;
you name the author.
4. "The Daughter of Time" (1951): CWA #1, MWA #4.
5. "The Postman Always Rings Twice" (1934): CWA #30, MWA #14.
6. "The Mask of Dimitrios" (1939), also known as "A Coffin for
Dimitrios": CWA #24, MWA #17.
* Plagiarism Controversies
7. In 1892, this author was accused of plagiarizing Margaret
T. Canby's story "The Frost Fairies" in her short story "The
Frost King". The author was brought before a tribunal of
the Perkins Institute for the Blind, where she was acquitted
by a single vote. Name her.
8. In 1978, this author was sued for plagiarism by Harold
Courlander, author of the novel "The African". The author
reportedly paid Mr. Courlander $650,000 in an out-of-court
settlement. Name the author, or his novel that contained
the allegedly plagiarized material.
9. This American politician was forced to withdraw from the 1988
Democratic US Presidential Nominations when it was alleged
that he had failed a 1965 introductory law school course on
legal methodology due to plagiarism. This did not impact
too much on his long-term political career however, as he
was elected 4 more times to the Senate before having to
resign his seat to fill his current role. Name him.
* 20th Century Painters
In each case, name the painter.

Archipelago", a nonfiction account of Soviet forced-labor
camps, was banned by the Soviet Union, but in 2009 it was
added to the Russian high school curriculum. Name the author.
14. The 1981 novel "July's People" was banned in apartheid-era
South Africa but is now part of the school curriculum.
Name the Nobel-laureate author.
15. The 1959 novel "Naked Lunch" was banned by Boston courts
in 1962 for obscenity, a ruling that was reversed in 1966.
Name the author.
