Once again, six category questions plus the title as the clue to
the entire quilt. Good luck.
CATEGORY QUESTIONS:
[ Literature & Arts ]
What author composed the allegorical epic poem "The Faerie Queene"?
[ Sports & Games ]
What pitcher was enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame for
supposedly pioneering the curveball?
[ Geography & Nature ]
What is the official name for the killer whale?
[ Math & Science ]
What is the blood-purifying organ located below the stomach in the
human body?
[ Entertainment & Food ]
What Californian was the voice of Bugs Bunny, disliked carrots, and
had "That's All Folks!" engraved on his tombstone?
[ History & Government ]
During the Spanish-American War, what commodore ordered, "You may
fire when you are ready, Gridley"?

But I venture the challenging statement
that if American democracy ceases to
move forward as a living force, seeking
day and night by peaceful means to
better the lot of our citizens, then
Fascism and Communism, aided, unconsciously
perhaps, by old-line Tory Republicanism,
will grow in strength in our land.
