I'll bet lots of moms of autistic children are glad ol' Bruno's cold, uncaring parents theory has been laid to rest. Think of the guilt they went through believing Bettelheim's hogwash.

Sorry. Off topic.

2. originally used by Soviets against Nazis

Ha ha ha, good one, Jiro. The history of weapons is the history of modern mankind. The Molotov cocktail named for Stalin's Foreign Minister, Viacheslav Molotov?

Ok, since no one answered, I will tell more.

1. Literature from England

2. Edmund Spenser

3. One of public virtues
 
Let's see . . . when I think of Edmund Spencer, I think mostly of psychology and Darwinism, but one of his literary greats in England is the poem in praise of Queen Elizabeth I, "The Faerie Queene." Am I getting close?

Very close. I am trying to make you say a specific name. See very first clue in this series.
 
Means "valor," huh? This is a good mystery, Bott. Since Spencer’s "The Faerie Queene" is so blatant in its royal and religious politics, I had to hit my British lit reference books. Hmm, I’ll guess the knight with the most valor and justice is Arthegall.
