Spasmodic dysphonia is a condtion of the larynx causing extremely strained or broken voice. Robert
Kennedy was a sufferer. The actor X, for character Y in a 2019 film, enlisted the help of an ENT doctor,
voice and dialect specialists to effectively deliver such a voice. Although the portrayal (and film) were

character". ID X and Y?

This store came up as a result of a legal tussle between the artist and a greeting card company seeking
exclusive legal rights over trademarks. Shoppers can only buy one item and to do so, they have to
convincingly answer the question, ‘Why does art matter?’ the responses to which will be evaluated by a
professional standup comedian. Who is the artist behind this store, which sells a half-shredded T-shirt
and empty spray cans, amongst others? Also name the store, something very relevant from the world of
economics.
Banksy,
