For two of these questions I can't even guess the categories! The only one I think I have a reasonable guess on is Enrico Fermi.

#1 is from Beowulf, and another person from #2 was Peter Ueberroth. #4 tricked us, although my initial guess about its category was correct.

1 is the only one I knew.

Kenesaw Mountain Landis sounds like a blues guitarist, harmonica player, and composer of the song, "Crawled Through Forty-Five Miles of Coal Country To Find My Woman, And She Still Done Me Wrong," whose music can only be heard in the Library of Congress or on WXPN, or a professional wrestler.

I looked it up, and though I was wrong, I was not disappointed.



I also believe that Kenesaw Mountain Landis is the role that Austin Pendleton was born to play.
