SILT -- 3/22

More SILT from yesterday:

  • North Korea is north of Japan. I thought it was south.
  • A pogrom is an attack on Jews. The word derives from the Russian word for "destruction."
  • Babe Ruth once coached first base for the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Things to look up:

  • The history of pogroms.

Jeopardy has had several diabolical coin-flip clues lately. Rumor has it there's a new writer in the crew. I hope so, because clues like this reek of inexperience.

Re: today's show -- I was 51-4 going into the last category, about Hal Prince. I finished 52-8. Still a good day, but what might have been . . .
