Darn it, @Salmon Mousse, I was hoping for a solo with Kaczynski, but I suppose he's well-enough known others will have him, too.  Oh, well, 5 years (?) playing and I had my first solo hit this year with Jonathan Spence, historian, author, and Sinologist.  That was a thrill!

He wouldn't have knocked Susie Steiner back if there was a Wikipedia page for her.  Very odd that there isn't.

I'll admit, that one annoyed me too. The lack of a Wiki, I mean.

She should have been allowed regardless.  Did anyone challenge the rejection?  Her books are quite popular, but he wouldn't know that.

 

A couple of years ago he rejected the Duchess of Kent.  He clearly just wrote her off as a minor royal without making any effort to find out anything about her, . 

I expressed surprise, but didn't make a thing of it and gave an alternative.  He must have actually looked her up in the meantime, because later he withdrew the rejection and said I could have her after all.  I didn't bother changing it again though.

I was wary of the Duke for that reason but he got in.

 

I did make a case for one pick but it was Russell Bishop who doesn't have his own Wiki page. He was used as a sort of boogeyman for my generation by parents. Turned out Hulka had already been accepting him! :D
