THE WOMAN WHO WROTE...
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT
THAT EXPLANATION
DOES HOLD WATER
Over the first 15 clues, both challengers had good luck on the buzzer! In face, it was Grace who found the first Daily Double, just before the break, at the bottom of THE WOMAN WHO WROTE!
Scores:
James $3,400
Grace $2,800
Julia $1,200
Grace bet $1,000. Her clue: In 1882, "An Official History of the Red Cross". Her correct response put her at $3,800 and the show into its first break!
Grace received an invitation to Clinton's inaugural ball for raising so much money at the age of 12 for his campaign! She didn't get to go, unfortunately, as her parents didn't let her skip school! (Her parents must have been Republican.)
Today is Julia's brother's birthday! Happy birthday, John!
Coming out of the break, Julia dominated on the buzzer, getting most of the clues, including ACCIDENT $600: It's the accident that got 78-year-old Texas lawyer Harry Whittington into political news in 2006
At the end of 30, the scores were:
Julia $8,400
Grace $5,000
James $2,400
