Davis. And that's Confederate States.

Malta.
> 5 Which British author wrote the 1941 novel "Evil Under the Sun"?
Christie.
> 6 Which car manufacturer produced the Oldsmobile from 1908-2004?
There wasn't one manufacturer over that period. At one point Olds's
company was called REO, after his initials, and I'm guessing that
that's what you want. In the final decades of the brand, Oldsmobiles
were made by General Motors.

There were *8* of them? Yeeps. I'll try Myers.

Irons? He's an actor.
