TODAY’S POP QUIZ

April 15, 2020

(Something to relieve your lockdown boredom)

As some of you may know, I’m a long-retired Professor Emeritus, having taught Journalism and Literature at CSULB from 1978 to 1993.

I miss a few things from those years…primarily the good feeling of being in a profession that makes a positive contribution to the world. On the personal, not-so-admirable side of my teaching methods, I miss dropping surprise pop quizzes on my students to keep them sharp.

You may call my resurrection of such a practice sadistic; I justify it by preparing you for citizenship in a new nation, Pacifica, which just a few days back was midwifed into existence by none other than our own Governor Gavin Newsom.

OK? Pencils out. You have one day to complete the assignment. Answers on Thursday P.M.
Identify the individuals pictured below by name, position, and political party. Maximum Points: 18.
