Our quizmaster schedule is up in the air this time, so I get to start the new cycle of quizzes. Since my 'something in the air' theme resulted in a huge storm, I'll hold off on my theme involving untimely accidents to artists. Therefore, no theme this time. This quiz ends at 5:00 PM EST (GMT-5) on Tuesday, Mar. 27, 2001. Please E-mail, DO NOT POST, answers to: golq&hotmail.com, or to rea01803&mediaone.net [replace '&' with '@', '01803' are all numbers] I will acknowledge receipt of entries via e-mail.
