On Jan. 20, he administered the oath of office to George W. Bush.

"Who is (William H.) Rehnquist?"...also known for being part of the Bill Clinton impeachment trials, right. He has the $5K mark showing at the break, $1,800 over Eugene; Robin's on the board, but she's $800 in the hole. Time runs out before the $200 Decorative Arts clue's revealed.

In 1990-1991, Iraq's army damaged many of this Arab capital's buildings & forced many of its citizens to flee.
