Williamstown Landmarks

PLEASE NOTE: This answer key comes NOT from the original makers of this bonus, but from a particularly authoritative-looking filled-in copy. Chances are that it is very, but not utterly, accurate. (At least it WAS accurate in 1987.) This is also an opportune juncture to point out that this contest is probably, but not definitely, from the We Begin Bombing In Five Minutes contest.
