8. Herbert Coleman in his memoir about a legendary director
talks about a famous portrait:-
“During the development of the movie in 1957, the director
decided the film would be a star-making role for Vera Miles. As
production readied for filming, a portrait based on her was
commissioned by me. Even after giving 2 established artists the
chance, he was still unsatisfied. Finally we met John Ferren who
was then present in LA. He fell in love with Vera and delivered a
picture of an angel. By then, Miles was pregnant. So he (director)
recast the movie with X, who looked similar enough to pass as a
double for the Portrait”.

24. In 19th Century England, surgeons did not have to go to
university to gain a degree; instead they usually served as
an apprentice to a surgeon. Afterwards they took an
examination. In London, after 1745, this was conducted by
the Surgeons' Company and after 1800 by The Royal
College of Surgeons. If successful they were awarded a
diploma, not a degree, therefore they were unable to call
themselves 'Doctor', and stayed instead with the title 'Mr'.

70. Doug Ridley, a criminal defense attorney talks about a crime done by X:
“Potentially dumping into a river is an environmental crime. I guess
arguably harming the fish would be something that a prosecutor would
want to go on as well. If X was punished for the environmental impacts that
he did then I would imagine that would be fines and some sort of restitution
for the cleanup. Really, what he was doing was he was genetically
modifying animals which is no different than having cows that have an
increase milk supply,etc. I would argue the GMO(Genetically modified
Organisms) animal defense that he did absolutely nothing criminal in his
case corporations. I'm gonna argue in front of a jury that he was just
decades before his time in the GMO world and that he really was going in
and trying to improve the fish that were in the river.”
Who is Doug defending?

72. X is a broad sub-genre of films that emerged in the
mid-1960s in the wake of a famous director's
film-making style and international box-office
success. According to one of the actors the term was

term was used by American critics and those in other
countries because most of these films were
produced and directed by people belonging to a
particular country also hinting to one of the famous
staple foods of their country. X?

74. Amazing Grace is a 2018 concert film directed by Sydney
Pollack and later realized by producer Alan Elliott. The
film features Aretha Franklin recording her 1972 live

impossible to sync the audio with the video in
post-production.
Which rudimentary yet essential instrument did Pollack
not use?

Following is an excerpt from a 1919 translation by Joseph T. Shipley:
He did not in any way bemoan the bad reputation which he enjoys in all
parts of the world, assured me that he himself was the person most
interested in the destruction of superstition, and confessed that he had
never feared for his own power save once, on the day when he had
heard a preacher, more subtle than his colleagues, cry from the pulpit:
“My dear brethren, do not ever forget, when your hear the progress of
lights praised, the cleverest ruse of the Devil is to persuade you he does
not exist!”
Where has one usually heard this?
