    I cry foul! “………..a new version was passed 81 years later” From which time? From 1875 when the Civil Rights Bill was first made into law? I mean, that was the way which I naturally took it, and I then drew a blank. Dan also drew a blank, and I could understand why considering that the clue was so ambiguous.
