Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The hot story of 2001 was the disappearance of Chandra Levy. Her name is linked with Gary Condit. Who is he?

Answer: House Democrat

What was the relationship? An affair? Why did she disappear? Who was involved - and what was the motive? Questions only - no answers.

Not the whole state - just one part of it. It will be interesting if he campaigns for re-election.

The Skakels are related to Ethel Kennedy. Someone beat Martha to death when she was about 15 years old.
