2 trivia quiz  Catch-22, Part 1: Colonel Cathcart coolicon
Joseph Heller's "Catch-22" is one of my all time favorite novels. (I read it instead of the history text I was supposed to be reading in grade 10). This quiz concerns the pompous, wheedling and scheming Squadron Commander, Colonel Cathcart.
