Question 1:

After the Second Battle of El Alamein in 1942, who famously said, "This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is perhaps the end of the beginning"?

Winston Churchill

  • In a fierce battle the Germans were forced to retreat from Egypt and Libya to the borders of Tunisia, marking the first real success the Allies had in WWII. Churchill would later write in his memoirs that, "It may almost be said, 'Before Alamein we never had a victory. After Alamein we never had a defeat."

Question 3:

In an iconic image from this 1955 film, Marilyn Monroe stands atop a subway grate as her white dress is blown upwards by a passing train.
