Consider this a warm-up. If you can't answer this one without thinking, close up the test, and move on to something else. We have nothing further to discuss.

#13: From the early days of our music, real rock 'n roll, finish this line:
"I wonder, wonder, wonder wonder who; who wrote the book of love."
#14: And while we're remembering rock n' roll, try this one: "War...uh-huh, huh...yeah; what is it good for? Absolutely nothin' (say it again)."
#15: This is from a kinder and gentler protest song, but the question is just as profound: Where have all the flowers gone? Perhaps you could use a little help here: "Where have all the flowers gone, long time passing? Where have all the flowers gone, long time ago? Where have all the flowers gone? Gone to graveyards, every one (at least at the end)."
#16: Meanwhile, back home in Metropolis, Superman fights a never-ending battle for truth, justice, and The American way (isolationist? Not us... ).

#21: In another movie from the late sixties, Paul Newman played Luke, a ne'er do well who was sent to a prison camp for cutting off the heads of parking meters with a pipe cutter.
