50/51

(4/4/20)

5. Charm - Then I kept my mouth shut - a method I've found works like a charm when somebody says they don't want to tell you something. (p 53)
10. Doll - He had the face of a Van Gogh peasant, a plodding gait suitable for wooden clogs, and a shock of hair of such a bright gold it would have looked natural on one of those Dutch boy dolls they sell up in Holland, Michigan. (p 115)
11. Embroidery - I picked the gown up, ready to hang it on the closet door again, but first I held it up to myself, admiring its beautiful lace and delicate embroidery. (p 237)
21. Hug/Huggable - This made her laugh, just a little, and I gave er a one-armed hug. (p 45)
46. Victorian - By 1870 Warner Pier had become a town of prosperous fruit growers and ship owners - solid citizens with enough money to build the substantial Victorian houses that today are being gentrified into summer homes or into bed-and-breakfast inns. (p 21)
47. Vintage - Another vehicle, a sporty vintage Mercedes convertible, had been parked behind me. (p 36)

(4/5/20)

1. Black + 2. Brown + 40. Red - Here's how it worked: Each Rainbow code name was created by taking (1) a random selection from a list of colors (black, blue, brown, green, indigo, jade, orange, pink purple, red, violet, and yellow) and then (2) a word (a noun) taken from a list of pre chosen possibilites (arrow, knight, prince, badger, orchid, and so on). (p 84)
3. Buttons - Inside the van, the two CIA techs are surrounded by 1960s era technology: blinking lights, knobs, switches, buttons. (p 34)
4. Buy - Maybe buy a boat. (p 35)
6. Child/Children - Some of them showed German soldiers who had died in horrible ways, with captions like "His children will miss him" or "More than he bargained for." (p 71)
7. Classic - It's the classic shell game. (p 304)
8. Craft - And what was available was needed for other purposes - like building tanks, bombers, fighters, trucks, destroyers, battleships, landing craft, helmets, rifles, pistols, bombs... (p 197)
12. Enjoy - Enjoy the time while you can. (p 161)
13. Eyes + 29. Mouth - They flocked to the moisture from the eyes, noses, and mouths of humans. (p 50)
14. Face - Even though the musician onstage is shredding a face-melting guitar solo you and your friend can nevertheless have a reasonably understandable conversation. (p 24)
16. Gift - And so, for the Allies, he was the strategic gift that keeps on giving. (p 109)
17. Give - So give them a break. (p 26)
18. Gray/Grey - He infiltrated Cuba with the rest of his 2506 Assault Brigade gray team members just prior to the Bay of Pigs invasion. (p 146)
19. Hands - That is, if you can get your hands on it. (p 164)
20. Happy - Located near the market town of Berchtesgarden in Bavaria, and within a broader retreat area known as Obersalzberg, the Berghof was Hitler's happy place. (p 103)
23. Kids - A man actually walked in there with a high powered rifle with the intent of shooting up the place and saving the kids. (p 82)
25. Knit - The tight knit relationship between Shinto and the Japanese state ended with the defeat of the empire at the end of World War II, but the cultural influence of many aspects of Shintoism continues today. (p 74)
26. Love - I'd love for that to be true. (p 37)
27. Make - Desperation leads us to consider ideas that would have been unfathomable under normal circumstances - because desperate people make desperate decisions. (p 13)
31. Old-fashioned - Working from quaintly old-fashioned - and completely ridiculous - gender stereotypes, Lovell and his team saw Hitler's penchant for violent mood swings and poor emotional control as evidence that he was "definitley close to the male female line." (p 44)
32. Original - For many in the Cuban exile community, the mission failed because JFK refused to give American naval and air support, elements called for in the original plan developed by the Eisenhower administration. (p 113)
35. Popular - The development of what would become the most popular DEW began in the mid-1950s, and was based on an invention by a physicist named Gordon Gould. (p 249)
36. Project - And thus, Project Acoustic Kitty - that is actually the official title - was born. (p 26)
37. Purchase - They used several houses in the area, secretly purchased by the FBI, as discreet observation posts, and one house as the starting point for the tunnel. (p 168)
38. Quality - The quality of sound isn't perfect, but technology continues to develop each and every year. (p 37)
39. Recognize - His talents and skills were immediatly recognized by Dr. Vannevar Bush, the director of an American wartime agency known as the National Defense Research Committee (NDRC), who assigned Lovell to help the Quartermaster Corps design innovative chemical solutions to common military problems posed by a truly global war. (p 38)
44. Toy - In Onagawa, Japan, a four story reinforced concrete, supposedly tsunami resistant building was toppled like a toy. (p 150)
45. Treasure - It's a potential treasure trove of vital information. (p 164)
48. Volunteer - More than a hundred members of the 2506 Brigade were killed in combat, along with for American volunteer pilots from the Alabama Air National Guard (who were contracted by the CIA). (p 115)
50. White - Maybe their van is just plain white. (p 34)

(4/6/20)

9. Creepy - It's not creepy or too much. (p 35)
22. Joy - Standing there in the square looking up at the massive, intricate towers, I'm overwhelmed with joy. (p 26)
33. Patience - I have zero patience for gossip. (p 196)
43. Sock - I hop up and hurriedly unlace them, tucking them into the corner away from the bed, along with my socks. (p 51)
49. Warmth - I'm wrapped in a cocoon of warmth and sensation. (p 75)

(4/8/20)

28. Monkeys - "She had flying monkeys, and the good one was tacky and seemed kind of dumb." (p 17)
30. Needles - Plastered with wet pine needles that looked like cracks. (p 426)
41. Scraps- Finally, we warrived at a run-down shack that seemed to be made out of wood scraps, cardboard, and prayers. (p 101)
42. Sew - Jeffrey has somehow managed to remove a chunk of time form the continuum and - crafty as he is - sew it neatly back together so that nobody else will notice. (p 340)

(4/18/20)

34. Pom-pom - The vest is monogrammed with my initials, "ES," and it ties at the waist on each side with matching pom-poms. (p 103)

(4/21/20)

24. Kitsch - It was a warm mixture of kitschy and charming. (p 16)
51. Yarn - Taking out her yarn and knitting needles, she set to work. (p 69)
