Question by player didb72

Answer: Barra, Outer Hebrides, UK

Scheduled flights to and from Barra offer connections to Glasgow International and to Benbecula Airport (on North Uist, another island of the Outer Hebrides). Since tides wash over the runway twice a day, the aircraft in service on these routes are light twin turboprops, such as the de Havilland Twin Otter.

When the tide is out, the expanse of firm sand is wide enough to allow pilots to land into the wind in almost any direction.

Question by player suomy

Answer: Attorney General

JFK appointed his brother Bobby, a graduate of the University of Virginia School of Law, as his Attorney General. He served in this position throughout the three years of his brother's presidency and nine months of President Lyndon B. Johnson's presidency. JFK had remarked about his brother, "If I want something done and done immediately I rely on the Attorney General.

He is very much the doer in this administration, and has an organizational gift I have rarely if ever seen surpassed."

Question by player oldstuff28

Answer: Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson earned a Ph.D. in history and political science from Johns Hopkins University; he is the only one of the first 44 Presidents to hold that distinction. Wilson, a former Governor of New Jersey, was elected President in 1912, mainly to due the fact that the Republican vote was split between incumbent William Howard Taft and former President Theodore Roosevelt, who ran as a third-party candidate.

In 1916, he ran for reelection under the slogan "He Kept Us Out of War," and won by the narrowest of margins over Republican Charles Evans Hughes. Almost as soon as he was reelected, he asked Congress to declare war on Germany. Late in 1919, Wilson suffered a serious stroke, and was incapacitated for the remainder of his second term in office.

He died in 1924.
