I can remember the opening sequence, but I don't think I ever registered the hotel's name!

Grand Duchey of Fenwick?


Stitchawl
Thanks for filling me in. What a great series that was. Paladin was not your typical western gunslinger. There really is a Hotel Carlton in San Francisco, but it was not built until 1927 and is no where near the water.

I have a feeling Paladin was a great influence on Robert Parker's "Spenser" creation. Both were sophisticated thugs with an overly developed moral code.

I would just be guessing countries randomly, so I'm bowing out. However, I am curious as to why countries like France and the United Kingdom were *not* founding members.

I will make one guess -- the U.S.A.? I'd just like to know if it was a founding member or not.

No - the USA never joined - which is the greatest irony of all - since the League was the creation of Woodrow Wilson - who couldn't sell the idea to the still isolationist USA in 1919.

Well - since I seem to have frozen the thread, here's the remaining countries:

Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Cuba, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Liberia, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Persia/Iran, Peru, Romania, Siam/Thailand, Uruguay, Venezuela, and Yugoslavia.

Stitchy had the most correct answers - so take it away Sir Stitchawl!

Something to do with Bletchley Park? Wasn't one of the code breaking projects called ULTRA?

Close... but no cigar.

ULTRA is part of it, just nothing to do with code breaking.
