Checking Wiki, I see the Roman Empire controlled, at most, about 21% of the world population.
Not Adolf Hitler, Adolf Eichmann (more recent research suggests his role was overstated by the Israelis who captured him - Himmler and Heydrich were more important to the Final Solution) or Aldous Huxley (or C.S. Lewis, who also died Nov. 22, 1963).Quote:

Andy Cohen foisted those shows on America (he runs programming at Bravo)
Antonia Lafosa is the Cutthroat judge
DQ: Did something that would've led American newscast?
DQ reserved
May we deduce that "not know for literature" means he never wrote book about his experiences/life?
Hmm, I'm rather stumped on this one. I've a feeling I should have extended that one about literature out to the arts or said acting instead.
Still thinking.
DQ: More "infamous" than "famous"?
Check your phrasing. I answered the question just as it was asked.Quote:

CIAS, I'll let you ask your three reserved DQs in the next 48 hours, please.
DQ: Are you..Armand Assante?
Do you sure you want to ask your "Are you Firstname Lastname?" question before CIAS gets his last three DQs, Eric?
Good point. Though I doubt they'd help
DQs:
1. Worked in the fashion world?
2. Was a Film/TV Star?
3. Aged over 70 when they died?
Your answer to 1 could've led me to someone.
He's alive, so I would've been wrong.

OK, with three bonus questions, that's it for DQs. You now each get an "Are you Firstname Lastname?" question in the next 48 hours.
I figured out who you AREN'T, just not who you ARE.
Merry Christmas to the stumper!
OK, time's up. I was thinking of
Hans Asperger
The noted psychological-disorder researcher, who gave his name to a particular form of autism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Asperger.
I'll start the next round tomorrow, probably.
Interesting pick!!
My mom diagnosed me with AS, a bull diagnosis. My cousin legitimately has AS.
However, the condition technically doesn't exist anymore, it's all ASD.
Unusual choice, wouldn't have got it, but nice all the same. Ho hum, on to the next one.
OK, our next letter is
H
Have at it!
