nwtider: It's hard to know exactly how to respond to your comment, since you don't specify which questions you consider "failures," but it seems to me that this particular format is designed to be evocative rather than to identify the intended answers with pinpoint accuracy. For example, there were probably other women born in 1912 who had affairs in Berlin, and other people born in 1929 who flew Lockheed U-2s, but there's one culturally and historically salient member in each of those groups.
The one clue I didn't think entirely fit with the general theme was the one that was actually the person's name (Karol Wojtyła). |
