5. Who was the first person named "Man of the Year" by Time Magazine?

Answer: Charles Lindbergh

Time selected its first "Man of the Year" at the end of 1927, and it was Lucky Lindy.

Charles Lindbergh was not the first pilot to fly across the Atlantic Ocean; trans-Atlantic flights had been made by teams of pilots several times before 1927. Lindbergh was, however, the first pilot to make such a flight solo. The most difficult aspect of this flight was staying awake the entire time. At several points during the flight, Lindbergh opened his window, just to get a blast of cold air in his face, to keep himself from falling asleep.

6. Which U.S. President wrote an autobiography entitled "Where's The Rest of Me?"

Answer: Ronald Reagan

The title came from a memorable line in "Kings Row," a 1942 melodrama that Reagan co-starred in.

7. What world leader was the target of an assassination attempt in Frederic Forsyth's thriller "The Day of the Jackal"?

Answer: Charles de Gaulle

Forsyth's novel was inspired by a botched attempt by French right-wingers to assassinate De Gaulle. The general had alienated many conservative Frenchmen by agreeing to independence for Algeria.

Answer: Marco Polo

Marco Polo claimed to have travelled to China in 1271, and to have spent many years in the service of China's emperor, Kublai Khan. Some historians and scholars are skeptical of Polo's claims, but they still make for fascinating reading.

9. Which New York mayor was famous for reading Sunday newspaper comic strips to children over the radio?

Answer: Fiorello La Guardia

The popular La Guardia's career inspired a Broadway musical, "Fiorello," which launched the career of actor Tom Bosley.
