Scavenger Hunt
So I got through the scavengar hunt in just under 30 minutes. I almost got all of them. I used Google first and then went from there. Here's what I got:
1. Some sorry soul with too much time has a site called TitoVille. It's the first thing that's listed. I found pictures of each person with Tito, but not all together...close enough for government work.
http://www.titoville.com/voditelji.html
2. I just typed the line in and it was the first listed result.

3. Google didn't find anything so I used the link in the Scavenger Hunt Search Tips to the Library of Congress American Memory site. It was the first listed result.

4. The third listing was the correct one here. Upon reading that other people in class found that this was a hoax I read carefully through the sites that were in the results. This one was the most thorough and said it was indeed a hoax...even analyzed the writing.

5. Google had nothing so I went to the GMU library web site and used LexisNexis. I used the congressinal search option (I think someone else did too) for Vaclav Havel on 21 Feb 1990. Found it.

6. Google failed again. So I got back on the GMU Library site and used JSTOR. Found it.

7. Google...not working well again. I remembered seeing something about syllabus finder the other day and so I went to the CHNM web site and used CHNM syllabus finder and searched under the book's title. Lots of results.

8. I knew Google wasn't going to work here. I went to the Internet Archive and used it's used wayback machine. No problems.

9. Can't find a picture of both together...just lots of references. I found picures of Sims and pictures of women named Janet Murray, jsut none together.
10. Ah, Google finally finds one again. I put the quote in and BAM!...first listed result.
