American legal eagles are commonly called this but it also can refer to the eldest son of a baronet.

For choice #10 Tim ($10,200) hits DD #1 at the $1200 Megalith; $4K on the table this go-rd.

This 5-letter word for a circle of stones is a back-formation from the name of a famous one on Salisbury Plain.

“What is henge?”- yep. Melis ($5600) has a chance to get into this game by finding DD #2 courtesy of the $1600 Science screen; Tim’s topping the rest w/ $14,600 & Jon’s 2nd at $9400. $4K is gambled again.

Working according to the same principles as a laser, a maser gets the “M” in its name from this word.
