AnswersAnswers
  1. It was Tommy Lee Jones, Gore's roommate at Harvard. Segal knew both. Just how much Gore inspired the character was a major political story in 1997.
  2. It was granite. The quarry was one of the sources that helped give Aberdeen its nickname of Granite City. Aberdonian granite was used in Waterloo Bridge in London and a host of other landmarks.
  3. It's corporate governance. The Cadbury Rules or Code arose out of Adrian Cadbury's 1992 report. Among the recommendation is that the jobs of chairman and chief executive of a listed company should be occupied by different people.
  4. It's the second one - the hangi is the method of cooking in the ground; the hongi the nose rub. Prince William experienced both during a tour of New Zealand.
  5. It's private parts. He also made jokes about cosmetic surgery, Mel Gibson and self-promotion. But he has a fan in Mickey Rourke: "I thought Ricky Gervais was cool."
  6. It's red wine. The authentic recipe, patented by the Bologna Chamber of Commerce in 1982, includes meat and bacon, butter, tomatoes, carrots, onions, celery, herbs, garlic, WHITE wine and milk. The sauce should be served with tagliatelle not spaghetti.
  7. It's six minutes to midnight. The clock, devised by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, is essentially a barometer of how close the world is to global disaster. The recent move was because of a more "hopeful state of world affairs".
