During Richard Nixon’s presidency, members of his staff compiled a list of political opponents. As White House counsel John Dean put it, the purpose of the list was to “use the available federal machinery to screw our political enemies.” In addition to the original list of 20 “enemies,” Nixon’s staff put together a larger collection of political opponents, which Dean presented to the Senate Watergate Committee in 1973. This list included various politicians, journalists, business leaders, celebrities, and institutions. Think you can figure out who was on those lists? Let’s find out.

They say it’s an honor just to be nominated, but do people really remember the nominees? How many of the Best Picture nominees from 2008 through this year can you name in 10 minutes? (When we say “2008,” we mean the Academy Awards that were held in 2008, so those movies came out in 2007. We’re including the winners. And we’re including this year’s nominees.) Good luck!
