Baffler - Colossus 128

Research division (1,3,1) ?a?d? R and D (research and development)

Sci-fi classic - ?on? - This answer will hopefully give me the answer to London's R?m Ken Rum-ken.


Is an Iranian Province QOM or QUM (my dictionary has both)

Yes, QOM province

Seems to me I remember someone else asking this a week or so ago, but it was London's Big Ben, which worked out right. May be wrong, I'm American and we don't actually have the puzzles, so we just have to go on hearsay, the letters that you guys who actually have the puzzle give us.

Hi Francis, Thanks for your help. The Sci-fi -classic Dune which makes makes londons Ken as Rem.
Thanks for the Iranian Province!
