Correct with Morocco
Incorrect with Westminster Abbey but knew it was the Beckett murder
Correct with Heller
Incorrect with Shaft
Correct with "less than", though unfamiliar with the social term

Confident with Holbein and feng shui, Francium seemed a reasonable guess based on Marguerite. No clue about its chemical characteristics.

Have an old passport with a couple dozen Morocco stamps in it, all from Kenitra Air Base near Rabat. Though we had to get our passports stamped, I can't really say I've visited Morocco despite the many stops there in the 70s. I was never on the ground more than an hour and never got more than 100 feet from the airplane. Not much tourism opportunity.
