Finally finished January 14, 1992, Christine Boyett-Thompson vs John Ferraro vs Liz MacGillicuddy-Lucas.

John correctly SPELLed THE LAST NAME of the author of "The Prince" for $500, but 7 years later the judges would accept an alternate spelling in
this game.
Liz started DJ! on CAPTAIN COOK in honor of her Australian mother, and it netted her the Daily Double.
Clues of the game will be STATE CAPITALS for $800 and $1000, for a pair of facts that don't appear in Steven Ferrill's Game Show Trivia book (at least not the 5th edition I have at hand here, I far as I could see.)
$800: Sky Harbor International Airport is located in this southwestern capital
What is Phoenix, Arizona? Jeopardy has asked this both ways, asking for the airport and the city.
$1000: Fort Benjamin Harrison, just northeast of this midwest capital, houses the U.S. Army Finance Center
What is Indianapolis? Game Show Trivia links Benjamin Harrison to Ohio, but Jeopardy has linked both him and William Henry Harrison to Indiana numerous times. (Also, if you abbreviate you search of the J-Archive to just Indiana and Harrison, you get a bunch of movie clues you weren't expecting but probably should have been.
Christine took the lead on the last DD, with a few clues left to play. I guessed the OLD GLORY for $800 clue correctly, but is there a better way to get it than "That just feels about right"?
When Flag Day was made a national holiday, the flag had this many stars
What is 48?
Unfortunately for Christine, she was the lone miss on FJ!, giving John the win. I had to google to see if the name should be properly given with or without the "S" at the end; contestants gave it both ways.
One more India game to go for this tape, but I think I have to convert it to digital first. Have a good weekend.
