INITIAL HEADLINES
This type of round consists of 10 headlines, each labelled by the year in which it might have appeared. In each headline a word or words have been replaced by their initial letters on 2 or 3 separate occasions - and in at least one of the sets of initials one of the words represented belongs to a theme group. The challenge is to identify the text represented by the initials.
So, for example, each of the headlines may include at least one instance of the initial letter of a main compass points (i.e. 'N', 'E', 'W' or 'S').
Here are 2 such questions and their answers....
A: 1782: R of LN who was remembered as TPM“WLA"
(to which the answer is: Resignation; Lord North; the Prime Minister "who lost America")
B: 1959: AHNBN released starring CGEMSAJM with music by BH
(to which the answer is: Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest; Cary Grant Eve Marie Saint and James Mason; Bernard Hermann)
