    1.  X is a name for Bears, but used for a different gender elsewhere,
    especially in France. X is also a place in
    Ukraine, protagonist of a cult action-drama series of the late 90s-early
    2000, and also one of the leader during the Cuban crisis. ID X.

    2.  His great-great-great grandfather, General Sir John Low, was one of the
    men behind the annexation of the Indian province of ____ in 1856. One of
    his colleagues, Lord Dalhousie, allegedly sent a one-word telegram to
    the Foreign Office when he had completed the annexation: “Vovi” meaning
    “I have ___”. FIB, and identify the person who are we talking about. The person shares his name with a biblical character and a very famous movie director.

    3.
    Although I had many strings to my bow,

    I was equally known for the curves the Lord did upon me bestow.

    A trio of ex-husbands I certainly had,

    and I was forever fearful of being driven mad.

    My popularity grew, and thus an icon I became; indeed beauty and sensuality soon became synonymous with my name.

    After all, gentlemen certainly prefer blondes,

    and even my mysterious death could not sever these bonds.

    Who?

    4. X said the following about Y:

    “There are many honest men in
    Congress, but they are not allowed to come up by Y whose only passion is
    power. He may sell India to Soviet Union to remain in power.”

    Id X and Y.
