Woman of the Year

:01:29

Miss Harding and Mr. Kieran
both have their hands up.

:01:32

- Full title.
- "Nights in the Garden..."

:01:34

- Hello, Sam.
- Hi, kid.

:01:36

Hi, Sammy. You missed most
of the Information Please!

:01:40

I guess I have lived around a lot.
With my father, that is.

:01:44

Tess Harding. Treat for the intellect.

:01:46

Rest your intellect and give me
a Scotch and water.

:01:49

The Chronicle ought to form
a cheering section for her.

:01:52

Because we write on the same paper?

:01:54

Did you ever meet her, Sam?

:01:56

I understand she don't talk if you
haven't signed a nonaggression pact.

:02:00

Prescott lists four seaports...

:02:02

... which have had great
strategic importance in this war:

:02:05

Dakar, Narvik, Derna and Singapore.

:02:09

Were any of these ever under
the American flag?

:02:11

Derna, in 1803.

:02:13

- The war with Barbary pirates.
- Right. Most of us...

:02:16

Can you figure a dame that knew
what was going on in Libya in 1803?

:02:19

Fadiman says she's number-two dame,
next to Mrs. Roosevelt.

:02:22

So they're giving them numbers now,
like public enemies.

:02:27

Well, Mrs. Prescott does not receive
$ 25 and a set of the Britannica.

:02:30

The next question comes from
Mr. C.A. Copeland of Glenport, Florida.

:02:35

What is the most frequently run
distance in American sports?

:02:38

- Hundred yards.
- No, no. It's a mile, counting horses.

:02:43

I'll try our guest expert first.
Miss Harding.

:02:46

Ninety feet, sister.

:02:48

I really don 't know anything
about American sports.

:02:51

Mr. Kieran?

:02:52

- Ninety feet.
- Care to explain?

:02:54

The distance between
home plate and first base.

:02:56

Yes, or between any of the bases
in the game of baseball.
