GENESIS
IN THE BIG INNING

Ben starts off in the center of The Battle of Gettysburg...but Sandra finds the one DD to close out Genesis w/ $4,200 after getting on a roll herself; use Dan's current score of -$800 & you have Ben's 2nd-place score for the moment ($3,400). She wagers a scant $500.

This man gets very good advice: "Escape for thy life; look not behind thee."

"Who was Lot?"...she's got a long ways to getting there, but that's correct to end this half of the J! Rd. at $4,700. Even though there aren't any TS's in this rd. of play, they run out of time on the $600 & $800 Comp. Abbrev. & the $800 Big Inning.

Current Scores:

Ben: $5,800/Dan: $1K/Sandra: $6,100

In 1946, financier Eugene Mayer turned over the operations of this newspaper to his son-in-law Philip Graham.

"What is The Washington Post?"...USA Today was incorrect...but he's right for an advancement to $11,900! Other one goes to...Dan on the $1,600 Animal on the Map & he just took 2nd away from Sandra by $100, $8,200-$8,100; Ben's in 1st at $14,300. To tie the guys up, here's the clue:

In 1982, this archipelago off Africa's northwest coast became an autonomous region of Spain.
