Match Day 6

This LL Study Guide moves from the glittering image of CBS as the Tiffany Network and the Middle Dutch roots of fishing tackle, through Robert Smithson’s monumental Spiral Jetty and Edgar Allan Poe’s pioneering detective tale on the Rue Morgue, to Michael Dukakis’s record-breaking Massachusetts governorship and the Montreal Protocol’s defense of our planet’s ozone layer.�cite�turn4search12�turn2search12�turn1search13�turn1search14�turn0search14�turn0search0�turn16search12�turn6search12�turn6search15�turn1search12�turn1search0�turn8search12�turn8search0� Along the way, you can connect these answers to films from Breakfast at Tiffany’s to Jaws, Iron Maiden’s ode to Rue Morgue, land-art documentaries about Spiral Jetty, classic Saturday Night Live political satire of Dukakis, and even Captain Planet episodes warning kids about the thinning ozone layer.�cite�turn9search13�turn11search15�turn13search0�turn13search5�turn12search15�turn14search1�turn14search4�turn15search0�turn15search2�turn15search3� ...
