4 Non-Bonds

 (James Dinan, Rick Grimes, John Rambo, Dave Vacca)

Toss-Ups

1.  He has said his unusual first name was given to him by his parents so
he'd know what was expected of him.  Despite these expectations, he left
the University of Washington after his junior year.  Although officially
listed as a free safety, he often plays strong safety, the position he
played in the 1999 Pro Bowl.  FTP, name this Super Bowl 31 veteran whose
six interceptions this year made him second on his team behind fellow Pro
Bowler Ty Law, and who wears #36 for the New England Patriots.

2.  Narrated by Sebastian Cabot and directed by Wolfgang Reitherman, its

Round," and "Higitus Figitus."  The main character is named Wart, and the
movies most famous scene is the Wizards Duel between Madam Mim and Merlin.
FTP, name this 1963 film, Disneys take on the Arthurian legend.

3.  All eight members of this band grew up in Basall Heath, a poor area of

from the national identification card needed to collect jobless benefits.
FTP name this group, who took Neil Diamond's "Red Red Wine" and Elvis
Presley's "Can't Help Falling in Love with You" to number one on the Pop
Charts in 1988 and 1993, respectively.

4.  He was once an alcoholic womanizer, sleeping around with Linda Farrel,
Harper Tracy, and Karen Hines. This changed when a woman he picked up died

on track and reconciled with an ex-girlfriend, than he got in trouble for
putting a child in a rapid detox program without parental consent.  FTP,
name this doctor, whose latest escapade--helping
a mother euthanize her dying son--has led to his departure from "ER".

Dr. Doug Ross

5. Recently, she has appeared on stage in "The Vagina Monologues," but she
began her career in the made-for-TV movie "Darrow" and moved to the big
screen as a college girl in "Quiz Show."  She then appeared in several
forgettable movies before appearing as the bride-to-be in the Mike Nichols
remake of "The Birdcage."  This got her noticed by director Allan Arkush,
who invited her back to the small screen for a series.  FTP, name this
actress, recently beset with allegations of anorexia, most famous as
miniskirted Ally McBeal.

than in the States, but he does hold the distinction of being the first
person to top both the English and Spanish language charts here.  FTP,
name this singer, whose "Otro Dia Mas Sin Verte" was translated as
"Another Day Without Seeing You," though the lyrics make it sound like the
title is "Just Another Day Without You."

8.  There are two distinct subsets to this writers oeuvre.  She has
written a series of psychological thrillers, including such works as "The
Crocodile Bird," "The Tree of Hands," and "Master of the Moor."  She has

town of Kingsmarkham and starring Chief Inspector Reginald Wexford.  FTP,

ever in the user's poll on the Internet Movie Database, behind "The
Godfather."  In the transition to the silver screen, the character of
Ellis Redding became African-American, but otherwise the movie was mostly
faithful to the original Steven King novella.  FTP, name this movie,
featuring Clancy Brown as Captain Hadley and Morgan Freeman as Redding, in
which accountant Andy Dufresne, played by Tim Robbins, is imprisoned for
murder.

The Shawshank Redemption

10.  She always wakes up between 6 and 9 A.M., and usually demands to be

Hershey Bear and New York Islander, currently embarrasing himself with the
Flyers.

Ron Hextall

this program, based on a 1942 film, in which Soul failed miserably to fill
Humphrey Bogarts shoes as Rick Blaine.

from which costs a million dollars.  FTP, name this Bond villain, also
known as "The Man With The Golden Gun."

   Victor Scaramanga (prompt on Man With the Golden
        Gun on early buzz)

Brinsley Schwarz, a seminal British pub-rock band.  His greatest
contribution to pop music is probably as a producerat Stiff Records,
Britains first independent label, he produced much of the early work of
such artists as Elvis Costello and the Pretenders.  He also wrote
Costellos "(Whats So Funny bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding."  FTP
name this Brit, probably best known in the States for his 1979 Top 20 hit
"Cruel to be Kind."

Jean, his father Hugh, his sister Molly, his brother Jake and his uncle
Drew.  That seems to be his entire family, although in the 50s he had a
wife.  FTP, name this popular toon, not seen on any current series, whose
usual form is that of a whirling tornado with teeth.

The Tasmanian Devil (accept Taz)

and six panelists. FTP name this game show, whose 1998-99
version features no Star Wheel, five panelists instead of six, and
too-sharp host Michael Burger.

Match Game

19. He sang a duet of "Love Will Keep Us Together" with Mae West in the

strips "Brenda Starr" and "Flash Gordon". FTP, name this actor, veteran of
the movies "Naked in New York," "The Rocketeer," and "Beautician and the
Beast," best known for his 1987-1989 tenure as James Bond.

Waller's follow-up to his multi-selling crap "The Bridges of
Madison County."
