    3.

    In 1962, Richard Nixon ran for Governor of California.
    He lost that election to the incumbent, Edmund G. "Pat" Brown.

    At a press conference, the morning after the election,
    a bitter Nixon spoke directly to the members of the press.

    "You don't have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore;
    because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference."

    cobalt is right on every one of them.exept for number 8. and I asked the wrong question on number 9 anyway. What I meant to ask is that the Standells lead singer was named Dickie Dodd, who was his famous brother?
    Glad all Over only made it to number 6 according to Billboard

    the answer to number 2 was Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder, Ebony and Ivory which stayed at number one for 7 weeks

    5.He chose the name "Bobby" because he had generally been called that as a child. He allegedly chose Darin because he had seen a malfunctioning electrical sign at a Chinese restaurant reading "DARIN DUCK" rather than "MANDARIN DUCK", and he thought the Darin looked good

    6. Dick Clark

    8. Was Peter and Gordon's A World Without Love

    No. The one with Woody Allen is the in-my-opinion-unwatchable 1967 spoof 'Casino Royale' with David Niven and Peter Sellars. The only worthwhile part of that film is uber-babe Barbara Bouchet (as Miss Moneypenny), whom you might also remember as Kelinda in the TOS episode 'By Any Other Name.'

    The 1954 live TV version was a 'Climax!' theater episode. It had Barry Nelson as an American (!) James "Jimmy" Bond. You might best remember Nelson as the hotel manager, Mr. Ullman, from the beginning of 'The Shining.' Screen great Peter Lorre played the villain, Le Chiffre.

    It's surprisingly good (it's included on the recent 'Casino Royale' Blu-Ray). Although the testicle-slapping is omitted, it still includes a rather unflinching (though not graphic) torture sequence.

    Climax! Casino Royale
