	Please accept 'Henry Aaron' or 'Aaron'. Consider accepting the singular 'Accord'.

	The abbreviation for Pennsylvania is PA, not PE.

	The break-in for Watergate was at the adjoining office complex, not the hotel.

	Thanks folks. All fixed

	The answer that shows up should just be "Watergate," not "Watergate Scandal" since you're asking about where it took place.

	There are three parts to The Godfather--the clue is right that two were released in the 1970s, but saying "both" is misleading.

	@gbv I presume the author (rightly) doesn't regard Godfather 3 as a masterpiece I'm not sure how "overthrew the shah" etc is a question regarding America in the 70s. Same with Khmer Rouge. And could you accept "Camp David"? Thanks

	Stairway to Heaven? How does a song released by a British band qualify as a "question regarding America"?

	GeorgiaPeach:	Jan 25th, 2013 at 23:06 GMT		0 points
	The questions don't necessarily have to be that strict when it comes to being "American." Stairway to Heaven had a huge influence on rock in America, to the point where it was played in proms throughout the nation. The Khmer Rouge was a major news maker as a group of genocidal maniacs which America mostly ignored because of its weariness from the war, and Khomeini overthrowing the shah (reinstated with the help of the CIA in 1953) fueled anti-western animosity in Iran that continues today. It's not a comprehensive, applying-for-your-doctorate exam. We needn't be so nit-picky.

	3 mile island= th ree mile island, change it

	The questions are fine. It's not as if the Iranian revolution had no effect on America! I would suggest a bit more flexibility in the answers, like not requiring "accords" in those two answers. By the time I got to the Iranian question, I was afraid I was not only gonna have to get the spelling right (I did), but know the guy's first name. Luckily that wasn't necessary. Just one comment: I remember the words "Energy Crisis" more than "Oil Crisis"--certainly that's the term that stuck later. I'm not sure about 73 specifically. It would be a good alternative to accept.

	Yea, I knew "Camp David" and "Treaty of Paris" and didn't get it. I also tried "Energy Crisis" and "3 Mile Island" (though I eventually got the latter). Plus, the Khmer Rouge one isn't actually stylized as a question at all. I would also add that some of these are in the past tense, and some in the present. Not a bad idea for a quiz, but poorly executed, I'm sorry to say.
