There's a whole host of typos that when I'm less tired, I will handle. I apologize for leaving these in.

The question on the "culture war" speech apparently only had "culture war speech" as the acceptable answer. The speech, as far as I can tell, has no official name--Pat Buchanan's official website just calls it the "1992 Republican National Convention Speech." Answers, at least early ones, that said something like "Pat Buchanan's 1992 RNC speech" should have been accepted.

I think a bonus claimed that the Yoruba are the majority in Nigeria; this is false—the Hausa-Fulani are. (And they're a plurality, not a majority.) Best to say "Southwest Nigeria" instead.

The Danube tossup says that it ends in the Ukraine, when the delta is mostly in Romania.

The Danube tossup says that it ends in the Ukraine, when the delta is mostly in Romania.

After a cursory examination of Google Maps, it seems that it technically ends in Ukraine (the border runs along the river through the delta until just before it reaches the Black Sea, at which point it leaves the main river), although I agree that it would be much more correct to say "ends on the border between Ukraine and Romania" or "its delta is split between Ukraine and Romania". I realize that Romania was probably omitted because it's a country that is traditionally much more associated with the Danube, and would therefore make the clue much easier.

It was the giveaway.

I have modified this to make it more clear.

Well in that case, it should definitely say "Ukraine and Romania", probably with Romania second because it's easier.

The "beauty" in poetry tossup" says that "foster'd alike by beauty and by fear" is line 2 of The Prelude. As far as I can tell, this is true for neither the 1799, 1805, or 1850 versions; it's line 300something in the 1850 and 1805. (Makes me feel better about my near-neg with "wind"!)
