Here’s tonight’s Final Jeopardy for Wednesday, October 19, 2016:

Final Jeopardy! category: 1960s SCIENCE BOOKS

Final Jeopardy! clue: Keats’ line “The sedge is withered from the lake, and no birds sing” inspired the title of this ground-breaking book

(correct response beneath the contestants)

Today’s contestants:

Debbi Hopkins, an administrative assistant from Charleston, South Carolina

Erin Rettler, a brand manager from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

Shannon Dillmore, a genomics research manager from Raleigh, North Carolina (2-day total: $49,062)

wk6_1017_1021_dillmore_lineup


What is Silent Spring?

Results will go up on the main page late afternoon, with full stats early evening. They will be seen in the comments section at the bottom of the main page.

That Keats line in the clue actually served as an epigraph to Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring. It was influencial enough that it led to a ban on DDT in agriculture and also led to the creation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
