Note: Some folks like to share their guesses for all of the questions, but in order to submit this form, only your initials (the first question) and a guess on the last question are necessary.

For purposes of the Question #6 Leaderboard, please write below a THREE-LETTER initialism you'd like me to use to track your entries. (You might choose your initials, but doing so is not necessary.) *

Question #1 - NAME the activist, generally recognized as the co-author of President Lyndon Johnson’s “War on Poverty” program, who is most notable for the ten-year period in which he transformed the National Urban League into a leader in the civil-rights movement.

Question #2 - The New York Jets now have the longest postseason drought among teams in the four major North American sports leagues, as the Jets have not made the postseason since the 2010 NFL season. WHAT team, which won its Pacific Division in the 2022-23 season to end its 16-year playoff drought, held this distinction prior to the Jets?

Question #3 - “Laugh, and the world laughs with you; / Weep, and you weep alone. / For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth / But has trouble enough of its own” spun WHAT poet in her poem “Solitude” (1883)?

Question #4 - The song “My Kind of Town,” an ode to the city of Chicago recorded by Frank Sinatra, was originally part of the score for a 1964 musical film starring Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., and Bing Crosby. That film reimagines WHAT legend in a 1920s gangster setting? For example, Crosby plays the character Alan A. Dale.

Question #5 - The following persons share WHAT last name? (i) The U.S. Senate Majority Leader from 1989 to 1995 who was the architect of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement (and known to baseball fans for a different reason); (ii) Tom Cruise’s character in the Top Gun films; and (iii) the author of the novel Cloud Atlas.

Question #6 - The answers to Questions #1 through #5 allude to, respectively, the second, seventh, eighth, thirteenth, and sixteenth items on a particular ordered list. WHAT is #1 on that list? (Here’s a hint: if the fourth item on that list were applicable to your commute, so to speak, you might need an umbrella.)
