This is the final list based on Mark's earlier list of today.
Just some spelling corrections and one late addition ... sort
of. The "hair-lipped fellow" (THIS GUN FOR SALE, Graham
Greene) has been identified as Raven, and has been added to
the list (Thanks Al!).
For those of you that have already voted, if this changes any
of your votes, just let me know.
Thanks! Joe D.
