For this month s Memphis Memories quiz, we dip into the archives of Old Reliable, more formally known as The Commercial Appeal, the daily newspaper that in one form or another enlightened, challenged, frustrated and delighted readers for more than 180 years.
The format is different, and, I think, fun: Each question contains a passage pulled from a story in the newspaper. So this quiz celebrates not just Memphis history but Memphis writers and words.
This is the sixth of a series of seven monthly quizzes that concludes in August with an all-Elvis edition. As with its predecessors, the quiz consists of 21 questions (because the year is 2021, see?); and, as before, the purpose is as much to entertain as to inform.

Getting booed at Cannes isn t always the
disastrous omen it would appear to be. When you look back at all the films that
have sent the crowd at the world s biggest film festival into angry hysterics
and notice that its full of arthouse classics like David Cronenberg s Crash , Taxi Driver , Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With
Me and L Avventura , the booing starts to look like a kind of
crooked honor. An audience rejecting your work might be a sign that you ve hit
a nerve and produced something they can t process.
