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.
