    No.

    I will give you more clues. Think of Dr Frankenstein and his assistant, Fritz, and what they had a problem with.

    And this fighter always toed the line.

    That is right.

    National symbol=Big Ben

    Brain--references to the scarecrow and Dorothy and Frankenstein (remember Fritz dropping the "normal" brain).

    Great record--Brain was undefeated over a 17 year career.

    Excellent, Henry.

    The types of clues that you offer are similar to those that you see in newspaper crosswords... My wife is really into those... I never get any of those clues.. My wife did ask me the answer to one once..

    " lost to Holmes in 1980 " That was the only time I was able to help her...
