ANSWER: 80's

Jessica McClure


Jessica Morales née McClure (born March 26, 1986), became famous at the age of 18 months after falling into a well in Midland, Texas on October 14, 1987. Rescuers worked for 58 hours to free "Baby Jessica" from the 8-inch-wide hole. The story gained worldwide attention (leading to some criticism as a media circus), and later became the subject of a 1989 ABC TV movie, Everybody's Baby: The Rescue of Jessica McClure, starring Patty Duke and Beau Bridges.

ANSWER: Literature

Tybalt


At the Capulets' ball, Tybalt is the first to recognize Romeo through his disguise, and would duel him if not for his uncle, Lord Capulet's forbidding of it. His anger unabated, Tybalt enters looking for Romeo at the beginning of Act III, only to be taunted by Mercutio, who was mocking him even before he entered the scene. Tybalt ignores Mercutio, for his target is Romeo; but when Romeo does appear, Romeo refuses to fight because of his marriage to Juliet. Tybalt becomes even angrier; he does not know that Romeo cannot fight him because they are relatives now.

Mercutio, believing that Romeo has acted too submissively, upbraids Romeo and decides to fight Tybalt himself. Romeo tries to stop the combat by putting his body between them; Tybalt promptly takes advantage of this to kill Mercutio or - as many productions interpret this moment - takes advantage of this to try to kill Romeo, stabbing Mercutio under his arm in error (Sometimes viewed as accidental). Romeo is driven to avenge the death of his best friend by killing Tybalt in return, leading to his own exile, while the Capulets are left to mourn over the death of Tybalt.

Scotch


To be called Scotch whisky the spirit must conform to the standards of the Scotch Whisky Order of 1990 (UK), which clarified the Scotch Whisky Act of 1988, and mandates that the spirit:

1. Must be distilled at a Scottish distillery from water and malted barley, to which only other whole grains may be added, have been processed at that distillery into a mash, converted to a fermentable substrate only by endogenous enzyme systems, and fermented only by the addition of yeast,
2. Must be distilled to an alcoholic strength of less than 94.8% by volume so that it retains the flavour of the raw materials used in its production,
3. Must be matured in Scotland in oak casks for no less than three years and a day,
4. Must not contain any added substance other than water and caramel coloring, and
5. May not be bottled at less than 40% alcohol by volume.

QUESTION: Games

King of Hearts


At one time, the King of Hearts represented Charlemagne, the King of Diamonds: Julius Caesar, the King of Clubs: Alexander the Great and the King of Spades was King David from the Bible. According to John Berry's book The Playing Card, the identities were given by the French who were instrumental in bringing the pleasures of card playing to people in Europe and the New World. According to Berry, the king of hearts had a moustache, as did, apparently, King Charlemagne. The moustache was lost through poor copying of the design."
