STAFFS, since the "business" part rules out STAVES.

Two music solutions in a row? Not likely except as a mistake (which,
of course, is quite possible).

Who was the first president of Russia after the breakup of the Soviet
Union?

YELTSIN. So 5th letter.

Correct.

In 1860, what author related, "The louder he talked of his honor, the
faster we counted our spoons"?

5th letter T or F. So not Kipling, Carroll, Twain... hmm.

I can't read that without seeing "true or false"...

Who was the first female jockey inducted into the horse racing Hall
of Fame?

Got me.

See below.

What city is the home of the Opryland entertainment complex?

Either MEMPHIS or NASHVILLE. But...

Correct on the latter.

What is Princess Leia's adopted last name in the "Star Wars" movies?

ORGANA is the only surname I remember for her.

Correct.

Around which planet does Deimos orbit?

MARS. But that's impossible!

Correct.

What, you want MONKEY? What's that got to do with bread? STAFFS
fits all three. Oh well. So NASHVILLE, and I'll guess KEYES and
EDWARDS for the two missing names.

Correct, correct, incorrect, and incorrect. Monkey bread is both a
Hungarian cake and a completely unrelated African fruit.

The STAFFS answer is pretty neat (the first two match very well,
although the third is a little weak unless I'm missing something),
so I'm glad you didn't get stuck on it.

Eight points.
