The Wednesday Quiz was accused of corrupting an entire generation

It's:

The Wednesday Quiz, in its third incarnation, is basically the same old weekly game of knowledge, intuition, inductive reasoning, and willingness to risk public embarrassment in a friendly and moderately supportive environment!!  

Traditionally, it is a closed-book quiz.

It is very possible that answers will come out over the weekend.


1. Decades after his first book became a massive best-seller, he wrote this:

I was accused by Reverend Norman Vincent Peale, a well-known New York clergyman and author who supported the Vietnam War, of corrupting an entire generation. In a sermon widely reported in the press, Reverend Peale blamed me for all the lack of patriotism, lack of responsibility, and lack of discipline of the young people who opposed the war. All these failings, he said, were due to my having told their parents to give them "instant gratification" as babies.

Who is he?

2. He built one of the first and, while it lasted, most powerful multinational corporations in history through efficient and disciplined business practice, skillful risk management, aggressive aquisition of rivals, and dirty tricks. He is generally regarded as the richest person of all time, but always tithed ten percent to his church and made massive contributions to educational and public health causes, especially those that would benefit African-Americans.  Who was he?

3. What's the pink part on this map?

4. We talk about it all the time, seldom pausing to reflect that it refers to "any of a group of complex organic macromolecules that contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and usually sulfur and are composed of one or more chains of amino acids."

5. He's the guy credited with designing the green part of this map, although you shouldn't knock Calvert Vaux's share of the work.

6. It can mean a viewpoint that traditional values and beliefs are unfounded and that existence is senseless and useless, or a doctrine that denies any objective ground of truth and especially of moral truths, or a doctrine or belief that conditions in the social organization are so bad as to make destruction desirable for its own sake.

7. The anti-Semitic Wagner is said to have worn gloves that he would throw away after conducting the music of this composer -- a life-long practicing Lutheran -- and the Nazis banned performance of his work. After a century or so of being criticized as too musically conservative, he is now generally considered one of the major composers of the nineteenth century.

8. When she dies, her husband says

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death.

9. What's this here language?

10. It comes between three Books of John and the Book of Revelation.
