They function as national police. -- Mark Brader, Toronto | "When I wanted to be a sigquote, that wasn't msb@vex.net | the one I was thinking of." --Clive Feather |

If this question was asked in the proverbial Dublin pub, I suspect most people would just answer "The Police" and look blankly at you if you asked them to be more specific. Peter Smyth |

Both words or the equivalent were required. >>>> 4 for Joshua and Peter. "Calvin": >>> I'm not protesting but the question doesn't really make sense. How >>> can one speak of a function when no verb is required in the answer? Peter Smyth: >> I think the question was written from a North American perspective >> where there are multiple local/state/national law enforcement agencies. "Calvin": > Thanks Peter- that explains it. No it doesn't! Calvin's question was grammatical, and I already answered it. Peter's response was on a completely separate matter, namely the facts that the question was about. And I assumed that BSI had them right, and didn't check until now. Despite Peter's allegation of a "North American perspective", multiple law-enforcement agencies exist in countries elsewhere such as the UK, France, and Australia, and I assumed Ireland was another such one. But in fact I now know that the Garda Síochána is the country's only police force, and therefore the answer "police" should have been accepted as sufficient. 4 for Joshua, Peter, *Calvin*, and *Stephen*.

| The GOLQ Institute <list@golq.org>: May 11 10:23PM -0700 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #352 (GOLQ352) Welcome to GOLQ348! There is no overall theme, but most of the songs fit into one of three mini-themes. Two of the mini-themes are loosely connected. Because this quiz is coming out so late, I have put in a lot of easy songs, but there are a few stumpers, virtually all of which are part of one particular of the two loosely-connected themes. The songs for the third mini-theme should all be easy to identify, and knowing what this mini-theme is probably isn't necessary. Neither tie-breaker is part of any of the three themes.
